IT HAS BEGUN...........

For those of you who didn't know Jim and I had debated about moving to a new home in Big Bear because our home just wasn't quite as nice as we wanted for our primary residence. But both of us just love living just where we are. We have lots of hard work and memories here. Jim hadn't even been home one day before he started on the remodel of our home. Actually it's a good thing, I think it will be finished sooner than I thought.

The first pictures are of the utility room. We tore out the cupboards and cleaned everything out of the room. Today we went to Lowes and bought our new washer and dryer and all the other stuff for the room. Tomorrow they start ripping out the walls, floor and redoing all the plumbing. I am happy to see it go so fast.




These are the pictures of the old deck which will all be torn down on Saturday to make way for the new one. If you look you can see that the house right next to the front stairs has been chewed almost all the way through by the squirrels. This has been an interesting summer, we have caught over 100 mice in the garage, had the mice or chipmunks chew through the wiring on the truck and had the squirrels almost chew through the house.





I'll keep you updated on our progress.......

Wow, I didn't realize you guys would be doing so much work. You'll definitely have to keep up the pictures. I love before, during, and after shots.

Yes, definitely keep the pictures coming. I can't believe how fast everything is going. I can't wait to see how it looks in person when we come up next. How long will the whole thing take?

We hope to have it done by Christmas, It all depends on the contractors. Up here they are not very reliable about coming out on jobs. It's a different way of life, they come out when they have the time. Also we will have a pause in work for vacation.
