A little life, a little play and lot of WORK!
On a land far away… Ok just kidding but truly let me tell you about one LONG Friday night we had about a month ago… We had all gone to bed, just a calm night in the trailer when about twelve something in the morning we heard a crash, saw some lights flash and I…
As you can tell there’s been so much demo and things have been cleaned up to be ready for the new trusses. It’s crazy to have just a shell left on this home remodel… just exterior walls, a little framing for the new staircase, support braces holding the walls in place and yes Josh left…
It’s the first week of October and we’re finishing getting ready for trusses (check the next post for the full details on that), but first what has been happening the month of September??!! There has been sooo much demo and it’s not 100% done but we have had to get those exterior walls ready for…
Let the big decisions begin… It’s time to order our windows and Josh and I have been talking about this for weeks knowing it’s one of the first things (design wise) that gets ordered. Of course I had in my heard (thanks to Pinterest) what I REALLY wanted which was black windows. As much of…
It’s week two of trailer living and living in a full on construction site. Tons of people coming and going, site inspections, bigger crew this week, truss company coming out to review everything, etc. Monday kicked off with tree clean up and building forms for foundation footings to get concrete poured this week after inspection…
Hey friends, I just thought I would take a minute and share some moments about trailer living so far… It’s an adjustment for us all and there’s tons of compromise that has to take place constantly. But overall, it hasn’t been awful. It’s just back and forth between three buildings right now – mostly in…
Well, we’ve survived our first FULL WEEK in the trailer and SO MUCH has happened in a week! Here’s a little recap… We’re tired but we’re pushing through and getting lots done!
Saturday, Sept 9th, it was all hands on deck! Both Josh and my parents came over to help us not only finish packing but begin demo. It was a whirlwind. We still had stuff in both bedrooms, bathrooms, furniture in house, stuff in the kitchen, we were behind to say the least. But in a…
It’s September 11th, the second week of school and SO MUCH has happened but I wanted to get an update out before I crash. We have been going non-stop with massive help from our parents the last few weeks. Everything, for the most part, is in this 40ft conex! It can hold way more then…
It’s so hard to believe that summer is over in just a few short weeks and it’s back to the school life routine. Some of which has already started since Jaz is doing soccer this fall and now that he’s in High School (WHAT! High School!!). I knew several months ago that we were going…
