But everyday, since late June, has been filled with the sounds of work being done on our upstairs.  We are renovating the entire third floor of our house (and consequently, sleeping in our diningroom!)

This has been a much needed project – we had old plumbing, knob and tube wiring, little to no insulation in the walls (!) and even a small hole in the siding that a clever squirrel had taken advantage of to build a warm and cozy nest inside our walls.  Our house was originally built in the early 1900’s and has seen many families come and go.  We are happy that we can make these much needed upgrades to make this house more safe and cozy for Josh and I and future families. : )

Here are some snippets of our home wip:

Getting ready for construction to begin.

Layers of old wallpaper.

Insulation going up!

Out with a wall, and in with a loft!

A bathroom with enough space to turn around in -

what a luxury!

The many people who have been working on this project have done a great job.  These two, however, are very demanding and unmotivated!

Now I have renovation rebates to work on.

It would be good to get a little money back for the improvements we’ve made on the house.  But I will have to kick myself in the butt to sit down and work on those.  I’ve been filling out an inordinate amount of paperwork lately!

‘Til next time,

Jenn : )
