More renovation shots

Bedroom floor after the 1st coat

Upstairs is starting to take shape

Back door - the tree stump to the right was a huge oak that had been cut down years ago.  We dug the stump out - and got into a yellow jacket nest.

Looking down the stairs

Kitchen - check out the screen door - I MADE IT from scratch.

This is how the house looked when we began.  The shingle siding so popular in the 1950's is nailed all over it

OK - Williams Home Place - we are ready to give you a facelift!

Back door area - overgrown with plum trees

Back door - we're starting to near the end here

How this for a coat of paint

Kitchen area is coming together

Back screen porch at the beginning

Staircase - still wet

This is the kitchen - one part of the floor has been partly scraped, the linoleum is gone off the closest part - but the ELBOW GREASE REMAINS.....boy this and the kitchen countertop were tough

We've removed the siding....

We're partially done (I have neuropathy and getting on a letter is out of the question for me.  I tore off as far up as I could reach....then we had to call in the men to do the rest.

Tearing off the front - same story - no ladders for Sue

First coat - kitchen countertop

We must now begin on the outside screen porch

Part of the crew - I am so filthy I do not pose for pictures.  Jim, Kay and my oldest daughter Wendy  Scub buddies

Kitchen floor - see what I mean about work ahead....

Living room - partly finished

Back door - we have planted flowers around the door

Visualizing - siding off, pain on, stump gone.....yep home sweet home

These are not in the right order.  I have saved pictures from my shoots, Kay's shoots and from Patrick's shoots.  But you can get a good idea of what we had to do.
