Hello again and welcome to OUR OLD HOUSE.

Things are moving along slowly but changes are beginning to happen. The inside doesn't look much like it did when we began this adventure. It is SCARY!! Walls are down, there are huge holes in other walls and we now can see through the floor. And to think that someday this will be our home. OH MY! Our contractor seems convinced that we will be moving in the first part of March but he hasn't said what year that will be. We are not feeling as confident as he appears to be.

It has been exciting; each day after school we go by the house to see if any changes have been made and only wish we could have some time to help out. Well our wish was answered. We had winter break, and when we weren't doing the holiday thing with family, we were able to put some time in on the house. The house was moved from downtown Greeley around 1978. When they moved the house onto the new foundation they failed to remove the several tons of chimney brick.

So for our first job we had the pleasure of tearing out two brick chimneys. one was two stories high from the fireplace in the living room. The other was the original cook stove chimney in the kitchen. It was a messy job.

The chimney removal left a large hole in the livingroom wall. YEA WE ARE GOING TO LIVE HERE .......WHEN?

After the chimney removal we needed to remove all of the hardwood flooring in the master bedroom, and the kitchen/den area. We wanted to keep the origional hardwood floors but they had to be removed and cleaned up first. We will reinstall them at a later date.

A new Kitchen window installed and the old one framed in. The framed in window will become part of the new bathroom.

The new celing rafters are being installed now and the roof should be torn off of the master bedroom soon to make room for the expansion.

We hope you are all doing well and we will continue to add pictures as things progress.

Best wishes,

Todd and Glen
