Remodel 2.0

The tale of remodeling with a toddler.

Week 1: Ellie can't be at the new house at all! It's just fraught with danger . . . stray nails, screws, hammers! And she might breathe in chemicals from the new floors or icky paint fumes.

Week 2: Ok, Ellie can be at the new house for a little while but someone needs to watch her all the time! And she needs to go outside for fresh air.

Week 3: Ellie is playing with a hammer. But that's ok, at least she's occupied and we can get more work done.

(no photo of Ellie playing with stray nails and a hammer because . . . oh yeah . . . we're in the middle of a remodel!! :)

More than sweat equity

this is blood, sweat and tears equity!!!

So much work has been done but the to-do list is still miles long!

3 generations of painters!

We have painted, literally, every square inch of the house. Including the ceilings and inside of the kitchen cabinets.

This may not look like much but those copper pipes have consumed Drew's every thought for last month!

But the good news . . . we now have running water!!!! Yeah, Drewby and Jon!

p.s. I re-posted Ellie's singing video, hopefully, you will get to hear her pretty voice ;)

Tra la la

Ellie is just bursting with song lately.

And it's amazing to me how she remembers so many lyrics.

Here is a little sample . . .
