Like most of you, we watch alot of HGTV. I promised Rob that one day, I would put together our own "before" and "after" of our house. We have lived here just over a year and when I look back, I can't believe how much we did!
Just to give you an idea of all the work besides what may be obvious, I want to point out what Rob tackled, all the while admitting, he never did it before...but would try.
See what you can learn from HGTV! With that dangerous knowledge, Rob:
- landscaped the front and the back (removing old trees, reviving the dead grass, replanting etc)
- resurfaced the pool deck
- painted the front driveway
- scraped the 1960's popcorn off the ceilings of all main rooms in the house and helped a guy named "Bear" put up crown molding. (don't even ask how we got "Bear"...that's another post!)
- helped demo the old kitchen and oversaw the re-model including all the personal drama of our workers! (again, worker "Bear" was involved!)
- ripped up all old flooring
- installed all new lighting (including fan removal) throughout the house, inside and out
- did all the other 1 million little things only homeowners know including, replaced: Air conditioning unit, pool pump, windows, garage doors and various other broken doors in the house.
Rob had lots of help from my mom, Pop and me (big preggo most of the time) painting and doing all the other fun work that it takes to put a house together. Just looking at those old pictures I can smell the old gross carpets and remember the terrible dirt and grime that was in this house.
And to think we also had a baby this year....we sure were busy!
