Basement Wall Demo Part 2
We’ve made some more progress on the basement wall demo! This is the wall we had our sights set on next. We grabbed the hammer and started swinging away and before we knew it this is what we were left with! Slowly but surely we are getting there! The next big task for this room? Clean up. Once we get all the debris out of the room the non-load bearing walls can come down. Then we will have to get a contractor to come out and install an LVL beam for the wall that is bearing the load! Stay tuned for more basement progress and some other projects as well!

Basement Wall Demo
Yesterday, I posted the ceiling progress we made on the basement! And today I’d like to show you how far we got on the walls in just 1 short day working only at nap time! If you want to see the basement before photos click here! And here she is in all her messy beauty! I am so happy with the progress and can not wait till the whole wall is gone and we have the open floor plan basement weve been looking for!

Basement Ceiling Demo
It has officially begun! Today was Day 1 of basement ceiling demolition and I must say in pretty pleased with the progress! This is where our basement started! We began removing the panels and here is how far we got during nap time. Just by removing the ugly office panels we gained about a foot in ceiling space(except for the duct work) and even found an additional air vent that was apparently blowing air into the ceiling! We’ve got some really cool plans for the space but we can’t reveal them just yet! Stay tuned!

We built a pig pen!
The other day, I posted about our fence that we built ourselves! Today I’d like to show you the pig pen that came immediately after! Once we had the whole fence up and both gates were secured we moved on to the pig pen. We went with 2 large pens that are 16′ x 16′ each. We put a gate on each pen and a gate between the 2. The goal here was to give Wilbur(our potbelly pig) the whole space for now with the option to add another pig later on and be able to separate and slowly introduce them to make sure everyone gets along! The process here…

We built a fence!
When we bought our home, one of the things I loved most was the land. Our home is situated on almost 6 acres and although most of it is wooded, we have decent sized backyard. The only downfall was that there was no fence yet. With 3 dogs at the time we knew we’d have to get a fence up ASAP. We bought a 10×10 dog kennel as a temporary safe place for the pig to be but we knew he needed his own pen. When we added a 4th mutt to the mix I started calling around for quotes. We needed around 375 linear feet of fencing and we…

Kitchen Faucet Upgrade
I’ve always been a big believer that small changes can make dramatic differences. When we first bought our home I knew the style wasn’t quite my taste but I knew with some creativity and vision I could get this place to where I wanted it. I could make it OUR home. If you’ve been follow along you’ve seen all the progress weve made so far on our kitchen including our kitchen island makeover. I was so in love with all the farmhouse charm we had added with the lights, cabinet pulls, and wood detailing and paint, but it still felt like it was missing something. This brushed nickel faucet was…
