My house is coming down to the finish! yippeeee

yippeee it is going to be done sooooooon.................. few more things and the 160 year old house will be reborn as the yikes, " who did that to the historic property! LOL

Its working

Well it has gone pretty smoothly. The remodel is coming to an end. No major cost overruns, no graft, fraud, incompetence (except one), delays, yadda yadda yadda.......unlike something else I can think of! The cabinets are now installed, the appliances are coming and floor early next week. The front porch has been recemented after the 10 hours of jack hammering in a futile attempt to put some brain cells into barbara boxer.

And it is flying along at record pace!!!!

The new MC air conditioner has been installed, MC stands for mega cooling. I do believe this should handle any global warming that may aflict City Park Avenue. The air conditioner also doubles as a transformer, and will rapidly turn into an escape helicopter.

Most of the built ins have been completed, with the banquette being larger than I anticipated. Eat your heart out TGIF.

Next week kitchen cabinets, flooring and finish woodwork.

The front porch has finally been resolved. Since the cement block could not be removed after hours of trying, they will let it remain. The cement will be replace and tile will be installed on the top.

Yeh.

More and more and more..............

There ya go.........the hold up is that very cool cement porch that they tried to remove but the foundation started to crack. They are thinking of ways to get rid of the cement, sawing it off is top of the list!

So, things have slowed, the interior however is moving right along. Electric, plumbing, drywall all done! Yipee. The house colors are on and looking good.

Updated, it is moving along fast!

Thing are advancing rapidly now. They tried to remove the cement porch, but, the harder they tried the more the foundation cracked. Kinda like the current stimulus plan! All inspections passed with flying colors, not bad for a home built in 1850. The executor of the estate of the women who use to live here stopped by the other day. They moved the women to a nursing home in 2003 and she passed (hate that word), passed what a kidney stone! When they were moving her out of her house they found she was a hoarder. Along with a hoarder she had a room of unopened mail and she was cooking a a hot plate. She had some uncashed checks in all that mail worth, 3 million and she died worth 10 million.
