We made a mess

We tore up the yard. Like most of our projects, it didn't go smoothly. The fence that we thought would take 20 minutes to tear out took closer to 2 hours due to the fact it was industrial tornado proof installed. The thing was 3 feet above ground but five feet under, complete with interior and exterior cement and a nice line of rebar through it. If they would've put half the effort into the house that they did into the vinyl fence, we wouldn't be doing all this remodeling!

The Most Evil Fence in the World

Spray paint outline for the drainage tank

 The fun begins:

Remember that fence? This is what it was like below ground!

Looking for the bottom of those fence posts.

Nope, still haven't found the bottom

Random circle found in the driveway, has a date of 10/30/22 on it

Another truckload for the dump

My contribution, one corner by the house devegged and cleared

A random tomato plant. It's doing great!

This pile was our driveway

Hello Patio Underbelly

Had 10 tons of gravel delivered...It wasn't enough...

Spreading the gravel

clearing the patio by the house

That used to be concrete and a lot of plants

Kevin in the Bobcat

Oh hi, Patio.

 Kevin dug down and tarred and sealed the side of the house, he also repainted the window wells.

RUBBLE! Working on figuring out a way to get rid of this mess.

So, we've had a huge waterfall inducing leak in our back porch, we may have found a source, the big giant hole under the patio.

The white thing is the tank we're turning into a drywell. We were unable to get to that step this time.

The start of the rubble pile as well as the two and a half pallets of finishing stones piled up

Surprise project

We realized we'll never have the bedroom as empty as it currently is so we decided to replace the floor. We should have thought about doing this before having everything prepped for paint.

Removed the old thick baseboards

 After screwing down the subfloor a new OSB base is laid and new boards take the place of the old. Decided this was better for house stability than adding a sliver of drywall.

Everything primed except the cubby that'll be finished off.

We went with a neutral brown/tan paint for the walls of the room, it's also for the one wall in the hallway. It's not quite the color expected, but it's growing on us and once the furniture is in place it'll be better.

Look a light fixture!

 The new flooring is a snap together laminate. The color is Rustic Barrel, so a bit darker and sets off the walls well.

 Trim boards! The trim is a hardwood, but to tie with the rest of the upstairs it'll be painted white.

COLOR!!!!

View from downstairs, this gives the best showing of the hall green

Office

My desk and a massive pile of computers! Kitties are enjoying the warm upstairs

When weather gets warmer I plan on spray painting the file cabinet

 
 Camouflage air vent:

 The wall with the vent pipe is going to be painted the same white as the trim and ceiling, but even better will be the massive chalkboard that will be painted on it!

 Hall

 The green doesn't really photograph well in the morning light, so I only have one good shot of it.

Bedroom/Hall accent wall (CRACKER BITZ)

Main hall color (SOFT FERN)

Main office color (SEASCAPE GREEN)

The chalkboard is going to be a dark gray called Moonstone.
