1 week down, 21 or so to go

We survived 1 week of construction! Thanks for all of your comments on the pictures from last week! Just because a few people asked:

1.       We're currently living in our apartment; we signed another 6 months and won't move out until April. This kind of renovation isn't one of the ones you live through and just wash your dishes in the bathroom and eat microwaved food for a few weeks.

2.       My boots are from a boutique in NYC, I can't remember which neighborhood or how much. I just know they were totally worth lugging around Manhattan and Brooklyn for two days.

3.        Yes, my hammer swing is REALLY that pathetic.

This weekend, my parents and sister came down to see the house! The construction team started demo-ing the inside on Friday, check out the living room! Ugly green carpet is gone!!!



hi, Cait!



just a casual blurry picture in a war zone

We couldn’t get up the stairs because of this:

This makes me think that a lot happened upstairs and for all of us to speculate how the demo guy got out. Did he go out the window? Did this happen AFTER he left? Is he still up there?

Dad giving it the once over

I haven’t really talk about the plans of the house yet, but I did mention that it will double in size. We’re going to extend the back of the house on all 3 levels about 20ft. This was RC and Dad measuring 20ft from the back of the house. Yes, we’ll lose the big yard but we’ll have two decks and think that will make up for it.

Then Cait and Mom decided to help with the demo by pulling off the back.. umm, stuff.

they enjoyed this more than they should have.

We did some more demo in the kitchen and found this beautiful wall paper..

at some point this was probably baller style wall paper

Before we left, we took our weekly picture in front of our house:

Then we called it a day and went to fells point..
