The Jerome Project: If Walls Could Talk

The Downsizing:

The Downsizing: Follow our adventure as we prepare to send one child to college, the other to kindergarten and attempt to renovate a tiny, circa 1950 farmhouse of just under 1200 s.f. The house has been sitting vacant for several years following a past renovation attempt that went awry by a previous owner. Our goal is to accomodate an active family of 4 (plus Mulligan the Westie) in a much smaller (yet stylish) space which will hopefully free up more of our time and financial resources. In addition to renovating the house and half acre of land, we'll be doing some serious editing of our possessions since we're coming from a home twice the size. The property borders an up and coming development featuring new homes along with a town center, shopping, and schools all set in a rural farm village setting.

If Walls Could Talk

Well most of the action lately has been going on behind the walls... electrical, plumbling, and insulation. All good stuff but not especially photogenic. Things are moving along, albeit not at the speed we would like... we are all getting weary of winter and not having a home. We are hoping for big things to share in the next couple weeks.

Upstairs bath is starting to look like a bath. We liked this style of tub from Sterling because the caulkless design means I won't have to spend another winter scraping and re-caulking the tub! Substance rates high over style in this case. They actually have a tiled wall design which we liked better but since it wasn't in stock we went with this one. It wasn't worth delaying the process at this point!
