FOR SALE!!! We're too pooped to pop!

That's right, stick a fork in us -- we're done! If you've been following this blog, this beautiful home that was once an ugly beast is now for sale! You can contact Dan Yelland @ GMAC Real Estate for the details or for a viewing of this home @ (641) 892-4652. If you'd like to view the history of this house, please refer to the December 2008 post. She was built in 1895 and is standing tall and proud today and we've gone the extra mile plus about 1000 more to make sure that she will be around to tell her story for many years to come. We are proud of her and she is a comfortable family home with a story to tell. She has character and integrity that you won't likely find again anytime soon. If you have followed my blog, I hope you have enjoyed our journey as much as we have enjoyed sharing it. I've met some wonderful online people and received many glorious comments about this house both online and in real world and I thank you one and all for the encouragement that enabled us to continue the modernization of this wonderful home.

We will soon be off to Atlanta, GA ....who knows "what" we'll find once we get there!

Take care, my friends.

Kitchen final

We gutted the kitchen, replaced the floor joists, raised the ceiling, added the indirect light in the soffit, relocated the plumbing, insulated, painted, trimmed, added a door, relocated two new windows and took out two, drywalled, added ceramic floor and backsplash, granite tile countertop....uhm, I think that's it.

Kyle, Dave's helper and friend, found himself in a bit of a predicament with the new cat......!

Kitchen backsplash is going in!

Kitchen paint and door knobs

Kitchen before and almost after

We still have some work to do in the kitchen, but we're almost finished. We need to paint the walls, add the backsplash, knobs/handles...face plates...all pretty small in the big scheme of things.

Kitchen Remodel, Day 5

We won't have anything more to post on the kitchen until the backsplash and wall paint is up. Right now, we're moving upstairs to tape and float the last room upstairs! Yeah!
