Road Block #1- The Roof

We have had some heavy rain this fall, and towards the end of October (1 month of being moved in...) the kitchen started to leak. We figured it was an "old house thing" and thought John could go up there and patch it himself. Turns out we have a leak in the master, spare room, and kitchen. This has put the kitchen work on hold...and our focus is dealing with the roofing company that certified the roof, the sellers, and their listing agent.

Plan as of now, getting a new roof and splitting the cost 3 ways (roofing company, sellers, John).

Wanting to live in a dry house again :(

Kitchen-Cabinets

John was ripping the cabinets off the wall, and found out that they were built TO the wall.

Loving the new height of the cabinets! The white ones are too high!

And this is where we are at!

John picked out a basic countertop and we threw it on :) using it now as just extra room. Finally starting to feel like a kitchen!

 Bye bye green!

 Old next to new

Kitchen-Window/Paint

Remember that yellow shelf...it made it's way to the wall :)

Elise came over! We both weren't working (Veteran's Day) and she mudded :) We had some wine to help...

The framing happened the day the sink was being installed...
