Demo Weekend

I said it on social media and I will say it again!!! We are so blessed with hardworking and FUN friends and family! I am so thankful to my girlfriends who let us borrow their husbands for the day on Saturday! I know it's normally a family day (and Father's Day weekend) so I am extra thankful that you all are so amazing 😘!! Morgan is all yours for your next home project!! 

Here are some pictures of the fun day we had!

The ginormous dumpster that I said, "no way are we going to fill that whole thing!!"... And that's why I don't make those decisions people! It was full by the end of the weekend...and we aren't even finished! Oh and that's my father in law on the roof emptying buckets! I made sure no children saw this happening...I don't want them to get any ideas for those teenage years!!

I don't even know how many times I went up and down these stairs. I am amazed I never wiped out on the cardboard. (These are leading up into the kitchen.)

The kitchen wall before...

During....

And after!!! By this point I was so excited! I can just see everything coming together!! It looks like a mess now but soon this will be our gathering place! And that makes a mama happy!

My dad and my father in law spent most the day working upstairs. Taking down lathe and plaster, rewiring and I'm sure talking about how crazy their kids were for taking on this project 😉 

The wall coming down to make room for a bigger bathroom! I am amazed no one was "seriously" injured all day! I mean look at this mess 😫😫😫

Thanks to my mom, mother in law and sister in law for making lunch and watching the two minions so that I could help with demo (yes, it takes 3 people to watch Sawyer and Brodyn...they are trouble). 😷

 Of course some things came up that we weren't expecting but that's what happens during a remodel right!?! Morgan is learning to roll with the punches 😉 We are now redoing the main floor bathroom as well as some windows.   It will be nice to just have them done! 

To put the icing on the cake...of course a tree would fall down on Monday due to high winds from a storm. Thankfully it's far away from the house and nothing was damaged. I asked Morgan what the plan is for it and he said, "that's going to have to be there for a while!" That does not sound like Morgan haha!

I'm hoping to get over there today or tomorrow to take some more pictures of the demo work so far! I'll leave you with this...

 My view while mowing...I could get used to this!!
