Home renovation

I have heard it said that one of the most stressful times in a marriage is when a couple decides to build a house together. We have never done that, but we are currently in a home renovation. Our projects are:

1. Remove the wall between our dining area and den

2. New carpet

3. Central heat and air

Our house is a little over 30 years old. Every room has the original carpet except the den. I call the color of the carpet "Pentecostal Gold." I don't think that is an official Crayola color, but it should be. While we wanted to change the carpet, we ended up doing a major renovation. The idea with taking out the wall is to make a bigger living space. The openness will do several things, not the least is to add more value to our home. So the wall was the first step.

The wall's last moments.

Home renovation: The game the whole family can play!

In a matter of minutes the sheet rock was down.

After the beam was in the ceiling.

Before the carpet guys could do their job, we had to get the small things from our rooms out of the way. In case we need anything, it is probably located in the sun room.

So now we are waiting for the carpet guys to come and finish. Then next week, the heating and air is going to be done. Thank goodness for my father-in-law who has done a lot of this labor for free. Then of course, Amy handles the painting and some other details. I just do what I am told. More updates, coming soon!
