Surprises in Remodel

The remodel of the GBH is well underway!  The race is on to have the house done enough for us to move in around June 30.  Translation:  Whenever the moving truck arrives at it's destination! :) 

Last Friday Sep called to tell me about his find in the basement. (unfinished portion of the basement)  So excited...I knew it was a secret treasure box filled with stacks of gold bars!  Boy, I was wrong.  It was a snake.  Yes, a snake.  He said not to worry, he saw where it went back out!  EEKS!!!!!!  New door and filled cracks are on his list of to do's now.  

Yesterday he sent this picture on, ceiling  and flooring has been removed from the living room!  This is looking through the living room.  Standing back near the dining area out to the the front door of the house.  Yes, that's original hardwood, but needs to much patchwork to restore and keep.  Great progress!  

And then a fun surprise!  There are actually cathedral ceilings above that 7 foot ceiling in the living room!  So, they are going to drop that ceiling today and we will have a nice tall cathedral ceiling with a cool beam in the middle.  So so fun!

They're wrapping up demo today and framing in some new additions before electric moves in Wednesday and drywall early next week!

And at home...the packing continues....we are living in a maze of boxes!  What an adventure to get our family back together!  It will be worth the work!
