Reno In The Works

Like I sad in the last blog. Chris and I are in the early stages of doing a full reno on our house. I find it kind of funny when I tell people, what we plan on doing. The first thing they say back is: "OMG thats a gut job!"... Ya I know, when I say reno I mean it! I guess they just didn't think it was going to be that big of a job. Anyways our homework the other week, was to take the drawing of what our place looks like now, and go over them with what we want our space to look like. I am super happy with what we came up with. We will be sitting down with our architect next week to flush out the plans a bit more. From there we will be sending this to committee, which is pretty much the city looking over the plans and what they have to say. That process is a 5 min meeting. But once you book your meeting it can be a year long wait for them to look at your plans. This is why we are happy we started working on our house plans this early. Hope to have more news for you soon. I am also vlogging our plans so once our house is done I will post a youtube video! Cool Right?

In other news I had my first big sale on my new Shopify shop! I am so happy about this. I am also working on knitting a infinity scarf I am very new to knitting. I am also working on a project bag for my knitting. I will post those up next week. I hope you will come back for that update!

Talk to you next week!

The Roof Reno

Before (top photo) After (bottom photo)
I must say that I was very worried about what the roof was going to be like under all the layers of roofing. We had 3 layers of roofing on the extension (flat roof) and 4! layers on the old flat part of the roof. Goes to show you that people don't want to do things the right way. Makes me soo sad. But that is why Chris and I are here to help this little place out!

This is a before on the flat extension.

Adding on the new roof

Almost done end of first day

OMG the bin is pretty full and its just with the flat part of the roof!

Second day. Working on the front part of the roof

Adding the under layer

And done! All I have to say is why have the stress of leaking going on and not fix the problem. Its sad to see how badly taken care of this house was. One step at a time and we are making this house better and better. One day it will be 100% fixed up.
