Just a little remodel (in the middle of winter)


When we bought our house the deal was in 5 years we could redo the kitchen. It is small and I have always wanted a nice big kitchen (to be honest I didn't like the house because of the kitchen.) 

Well, the time has come! We are ripping out the old and building an all new fancy kitchen. 
You heard me right ripping it all out. Starting from the foundation up. In the middle of winter!!

On top of getting the kitchen of my dreams, we now have a new roof, new windows, and an extra three inches of insulation on the house. It will have all new wood siding and eventually a new chimney to the wood stove in the basement (no chimney to our "back up heat source" has made for a few very cold days and frozen pipes. But, we are making it!) 

Mike thankfully realized that he in no way has the time to do this massive project himself so we have hired an Amish neighbor of ours to do the work. He does such awesome work! 



We also have hired a friend to help with the "little jobs" you know like ripping the house apart. I keep hearing that "soon" I will have to deal without a stove and a sink (or even outside walls!!) It will all be worth it in the end!
