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…

Week 2 – Construction Site, Texas and more!

How to move forward…
What are we going to do with this family farmhouse??
