Some side by sides, and stop by's

Here's some before & nows of areas in and around the house...someday they'll be afters. Someday...but for now their just for "nows" 

this is how the logs have cleaned up, we think the white wash on it is a type of soulution they used to put on logs to keep bugs and fungus off. You can see the hewing marks from when they cut the logs in that right picture above.

That girl right there, she's the best! 

My little, well not so little anymore, sister worked all Saturday tearing out wall. Tell me how many 14 year olds you know that would do that and not complain a bit. She's something alright. 

Here's another before and after of the outside of the house...where some lifting of walls and floors is in the works...and there are two of the hardest working people I've ever met as well. If you know either Chase or Shaneyne, you wouldn't be surprised why they both turned out to such hard working and loving people..they get it honest. I can't even begin to thank the finks enough for all that they've done for me already since they been in my life. 

We're digging up bones...

Literally, we dug out bones all weekend...small animal grave yard in te crawl space. Yes don't ask me how I managed to spend time in a 1-3 feet area, where snake holes and traces of lots of small animals are abundant..but I did it, thanks to a very supportive Chaseley. It was worth it, knowing that now the crawl space can be insulated and the walls and floor that need to be adjusted and fixed can be with more ease. Also busted open the fire place open and took out a huge rock, which will go back in as a stone harth sooner or later. That's about all we got done this weekend, but I'll take it. Full dump truck and clean crawl space, and no snakes or foxes, or whatever hopefully was living under there. 

Not to bad of a view from the dump truck.

Where I should of started.

Ok upon request, and well honestly where I should of started to begin with. 

Here is how the house was when we first saw it, how it looked before we bought it, before we started destroying our newly purchased home, and before everyone started giving us the "your crazy looks". 

I guess you could call these the "before we lost minds" photos. 

The living room.

The "don't know what it's gonna be" room.

The kitchen. 

The bathrooms

The rooms upstairs

  

The outside.
