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.

A Dormer is Born

This may feel a bit like looking at too many pictures of a newborn baby, but we are very excited about this hole in the roof... aka upstairs bathroom/dormer!

Yes everyone should cut a hole in their roof when the temps are below zero... but the key is dry and sunny!  Hopefully Jim Hostetler and crew are layered up...

 It may look like just a hole in the roof...

 Don't try this at home... better left to the professionals.

 New bathroom walls ready to go up.

 Picture the tub just ahead...

 Ceiling height at just 7' is better than the severe slope that was here.  Logan's head (currently hovering around 6') will thank us.

 And out she pops...

A little roofline interest emerges... to be continued!
