As many of you know, we purchased a 60 year old home two years ago and have been steadily remodeling it. I try to update our readers here on our blog every week with how our home improvement projects are coming along, so today I thought I would update you all again.
Last weekend hubby started remodeling the attic. The previous owners started it about 15 years ago and never completed it. Even though it’s an attic now, it will be turned into 2 large rooms (guest rooms) and a full bathroom. We are very fortunate that the attic is large and has plenty of ceiling space for us to work with.
We took a trip to the hardware store as hubby needed to pick up some tension bolts, drill bits, socket wrenches, 3 new ceiling fans, wire rope and some wire cutters. Wow, I never realized how expensive things are at the hardware store but I did save 25% with a coupon on our total purchase.
Once we got back home I was pleasantly surprised to see my daughter there and she had brought us some yummy Mexican takeout as an early Mother’s Day surprise. No wonder my hubby pestered me to go along with him to the hardware store! Geesh, I should of realized that something was up!
After we ate our lunch he got busy ripping up the attic and let me tell you, he worked his butt off for 6 hours! He is going to start hanging up the drywall this coming weekend and I am really excited about that. He is pretty happy with himself because now he has the duct work done and has central air running up there whereas before…he roasted his butt off.
I am looking forward to it all getting done that way I can head to the mall and to our local department stores and purchase some items for decorating. I am thinking of sticking with my coastal home decor theme for all 3 of the rooms.
Anyway, that is our weekly home remodeling update. I will try to share some photos with all of you next week.
