The house is coming a long great! We've finally got the whole place gutted. This is what it looks like now that there are no walls. Kind of cool! You can see the whole skeleton of the house. I think it is neat seeing all the way through the place like this. That flat thing dangling from the ceiling in the kitchen is actually a light. It is the back of a flat screen TV. The backlight. Pretty cool huh? Probably make a good grow light too HA HA.


This is the new insulation we are going to use. It is everybody's favorite: PINK PANTHER!!!

All we got left now before we start on the roof, is take out the furnace.

The stud on the bottom along the edge of the foundation in the kitchen and living room was in the worst shape. The wood was completely rotten. So our hired help started replacing the sections that needed replacing with new wood. In order to do this, these sections of the walls need to be detached as he goes along the edge leaving them to stand free like this. Meaning I have no walls in these areas he is working on HA HA. The studs are just dangling there.

Hopefully next time we should be ready to do the roof. We have one hole to fix and the siding. And then we should be ready to turn it back into a new house. It is getting exciting now!

In the mean time check out my old house blogs from before. This was 3 months ago when we first had the house moved.

Oh wow. If they don't find ya handsome at least let them find ya handy. Wow. So many people these days can't do their own shelter/house. Are you nervous at all? I would be. No turning back now. I think your place is going to be awesome when you are done.

Hi Squirrel bait! Nah I'm excited. I want to get moved in already. One of our guys that was helping us vanished off the face of the Earth so we had to find other help.

Those damn blue collar tweekers! Good luck w/the renovation. Make sure to leave a room, for a suite, for your cat army! ;)

We are building a catio in the back next to what is going to be our back deck.

Knew you wouldn't forget your furry feline friends lol!

howdy there Rainbow Man! I like the look. I think you should leave the walls open. well maybe not the bathroom. come on man I thought you were radical!
