    Planning and Prep

    20 de noviembre de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 52 °F

    Brice did a bit more clean up and then we planned and measured for beam support both temporary and permanent to allow the ceilings to be lofted throughout the house. We measured window and door space for updated and enlarged windows and doors for the whole house. . The gas decorative stove will be used in the garage and a decorative gas fireplace will be installed in the living room/greatroom.Leer más

    It's snowing inside.Dusty, dirty work.Too bad the wood floors were in such bad shape from having concrete poured onto them.

    Demo Part #2

    The first demo revealed a concrete pour was used inside the house to level the floor. We removed all of that concrete. We may need to jack the house in some places in order to level up the floors. If this doesn't work we'll use a modern method of floor leveling that doesn't require as much weight as concrete. We also took down the ceiling to allow for vaulting in some areas to give the small space an airy and open feel. There were two layers of ceiling. One from 1980's and the other was original. The insulation in the attic was cotton. It was a messy job, but we are getting closer to an empty shell to begin with a new floor plan.Leer más

    1The deck was awkward and didn't have a lot of useable space. It was torn out and the wood recycled.The shed was removed providing more room to get to the electrical box on the side of the house.The bathroom floor was soft and the toilet was about to fall through. The fixtures were donated.The kitchen was outdated and cabinets were falling apart inside. Range was unusable.The ceilings were low and the room felt very small. Roxanne wanted to loft the ceiling.Brice was the only person that agreed the ceiling could be lofted. Here he is drawing and thinking.

    A Place to Call Home

    18 de mayo de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

    Roxanne purchases an original tiny house 2 blocks away from Pioneer Park. This will be a fun renovation project and, once completed, a great way to stay close to family and have a comfortable home base when traveling and adventuring.

    The entire outside will change from old fashioned to a modern look. The interior will be completely gutted and opened up. The foundation will be jacked and supported. All new plumbing, electrical, insulation, drywall and fixtures will be added. The garage will get some updates too and will provide a multi-use space. Brice, Roxanne's son, agrees to take on the project. He has done his own two story, much bigger, house's remodel from the ground up. When he did his it also needed foundation work and he stripped it down to the bare structure and did every aspect of the remodel himself. His turned out beautifully, so Roxanne knew he was up for the challenge.    Leer más
