Ok, I know that's the name of a show & actually, our reno is not that big. . .or even amazing. . .but it sure feels good to actually be doing it ~ FINALLY! We went through 8 months of having the house on the market. . .lots of lookers, but no takers. . .
A funny story. . .my prior post was us on a jet ski tour in Myrtle Beach. . .well on the way home from that vacation, literally, we were in the car on our way back. . .our realtor called and said that she needed to show the house immediately. She had a 'serious' buyer who's offer on a different house had fallen through & they had already sold theirs and needed to buy immediately & ours was on the top of the list! We should have been excited, but instead we panicked & got really nervous. We both felt scared that they would actually want to buy it & we decided right then and there that we would take it off the market & start doing the work on it that we had always envisioned doing. . .
A little twist that makes this store 'funny' is that our builder told us he had a friend who is also a builder in town working with him for a few months because business was slow for him. The first time he came, we all looked at each other like we had seen each other before. . .we finally figured out that he worked at the place where we rented the jet skis!!! He was one of our tour guides just 2 months prior to him now standing in the middle of our kitchen. . .coincidence? FATE~!!! We were meant to stay here. . .that's our story, anyway, and we are sticking to it!!
The plan. . .remodel the kitchen & add on 630 sq ft to the back of the house for a new family room & a play room for the kiddies.
So far. . .
installed granite
installed tile backsplash
new exhaust hood

For the addition, the foundation is complete and we should start framing next week. . .the plan. . .to be in it by Christmas!!

The kids thought that the foundation going in was a sporting event. . .
