Good morning to all.

Sharing the remodel photos of Mom's kitchen. This room was taken down to studs and put back together. Additional floor joists, blocking and bracing installed under the room.

This house was built with rough cut lumber and in no numerical sense. In other words, not built to any building codes of current times. Example: floor joists were anywhere from 23" to more than 36" apart! 🤯😵‍💫

I personal am in love with the transformation. 😍
This is the most counter space my mother has ever had!! She will be back to baking up a storm soon I am certain.

Big thank you to my friend Rob for coming to work for this project. I can't thank him enough for accepting my barter for labor. In the coming weeks this will get stained and trim work added.
Thank you to my mother for helping me cut down and haul away the old shed. I appreciate your help knowing the heat gets to you.

Tomorrow back inside the A/C to finish interior work.

Quick 3 hours this morning sanded and put on a 3rd coat of poly to counters. Now off I go for the rest of the day, errands to run.

Making forward movement. ❤️

Just realizing that two photo uploads of Mom's house remodel have not made it through. I guess I will upload in smaller amounts.

The past several weeks have been full work days. With old house remodel as things get opened up more problems need addressing. Hence the reason she is in moved in yet. I continue to make headway and the end results are going to be beautiful. Patience is a virtue.

I need to shout out to my mother(Gail) for coming to assist when she is able too. Also, to my son, Zach and his girlfriend, Kayla for using their vacation time to come down for a week to help me install additional floor joists, supports and bracing underneath Mom's house. I greatly appreciate you all.

Here are some progress photos of the master bedroom/bath and front entry hall.

Off to work I go.
