Sharing our restoration journey of an 1890's homestead in the PNW!
FYI: none of these pictures have anything to do with the words, so just pay attention to whichever you're most interested in :D! I spent 2014-15 in school doing prerequisites for the Radiologic Technologist (X-ray Tech) program. I spent 2015-2018 on the waitlist for said program (while working a fantastic job that I was incredibly… Continue reading The Beginning
On Friday, June 5, 2020 we spent our first night in our new home!! Okay, so I realize that was three weeks ago already. Somehow, I got another (this is my third) job. And I am in my final quarter of school. And I was pushing super hard to get out of the RV. I… Continue reading We Have A LOFT
It has been absolutely insane the past month and a half. I got a new job in the profession I've been in school for for nearly two years now, I started my final quarter of said school, and I have still been *attempting* to help Husband make progress on the Cabin. Though I think a… Continue reading One?! Maybe?!?!
Whoops. I didn’t realize I already missed three weekends worth of posts! So I have more than enough pictures to share. But I haven’t had much spare time the past few weeks, so this is going to be short and sweet with tons of pictures that will hopefully speak for themselves :)! The first project… Continue reading Four
This weekend marks eight weekends left to move in date. And by golly, I think we could make it. This week we spend 4 solid days chinking the exterior of the Cabin. I had a terrible time finding (and keeping) motivation for this project. Husband definitely pulled more than his weight as I grumbled and… Continue reading Eight!
This COVID-19 virus is wreaking havoc on so many people's lives. I am personally ready for the world to go back to normal, to be able to be social again, and to feel zero stress/concern for my in-laws when going to work or just running to the grocery store. It's crazy how many different aspects… Continue reading Nine…Again(?)
The past weekend marked eight weekends until move in date...but that accounted for two weekend trips that can no longer be taken due to the corona virus precautions in place. So now we've got two extra weekends AND Husband's work got shut down for two weeks. So, (positive side to the virus) we're hoping that… Continue reading Eight
Last weekend marked nine weekends left until move in date! Though with all the shut downs with the corona virus maybe that’ll be altered. Last Friday we went out and attempted to bring home enough supplies for the next 4 major projects. We’ll see how we did as the projects progress I guess :)! I’ve… Continue reading Nine
Weekend ten comprised of sub-floor wire running and fixing the mucky crawlspace. The wiring took quite a bit of time as we are running nearly all of our electrical wires for the downstairs under the floor so it doesn't have to be hidden along the log walls. We had already done most of the planning… Continue reading Ten
Eleven work weekends until the move in deadline! Last weekend we (mostly Husband and our buddy A) got ALL our sub-floor water lines in! We also finished the plumbing - got it all glued together and hung at the proper grade. We started with finishing up the plumbing and honestly it didn’t take as long… Continue reading Eleven
