This is what I see every day. I am under construction. Living in it. I am on day 27. I am still alive, my husband is still alive and things are finally coming together. We have moved all of our stuff into about 700 sf which is a little under half of what we lived in uncomfortably before.
These are my before pictures. One with the ugly ass shrubs one with out :-) I grew up in this house, as you see it. Its on two lots in a desirable town a stones throw from Boston. Even though my husband and I own the house, it still feels like it isnt mine. So we decided it was time to renovate! Since we are not ones to do things on a small scale, its not a cheap project. I guess I have already made no less than 100 decisions and I still have 4 months left.
This is me. In my mask. A much needed asset in this renovation. Let me tell you why.
This is my husband, T.J. He is a fantastic guy. Honestly. Hes my best friend. He cannot handle stress.... at all. He turns into... pardon my language... a huge asshole. In comes the batman mask. See my husband cant NOT laugh when I put it on. So when we started this project, and we were cleaning out the house, I donned it on many occasions. The first time was when we were blocking off the half of the house that we were going to live in away from the part we werent. Which meant I was going to have to climb out a window.... im not the most graceful of people.... fine, I fall a lot... actually once today too... but we will get to that....
These are my dogs, Bo and Chloe. Chloe, the princess on the right is a rescue and she follows me everywhere I go. Needless to say, when we closed up the side of the house and started climbing out the window, who appeared at my side? right! Chloe..... almost holed my dog up on the other side of the house.... awesome.... anyway...
This is me again, climbing out said window, after sending out the dog... yeah the neighbors got a great laugh.... yeah yeah yeah... lots more stories to tell...
