Our New Home

We have now been living in our new house for a month. After four long months of remodeling, it feels good to be at home! Kasey has put in a lot of hard hours into finishing our project and continues to complete some final details. In detail, we gutted the entire house and replaced all electrical and plumbing. We are blessed to have friends and family with skills to assist in these areas! In the kitchen we replaced the cabinets and counter-tops and changed out the nasty carpet with tile. We also added recessed lighting and a new wall separating the kitchen from the dining room and closed off a window to add extra cabinet space. Originally, the house had a small bedroom on the first floor. By removing this bedroom, we expanded both the living room and bathroom. With three girls in the house, Kasey said a larger bathroom would be worth the extra work! We also removed a wall between the living room and dining room and added a sliding glass door which opened our living space up tremendously. We hope to have a cement patio and privacy fence added in the near future. We also cleaned and painted the sun porch and added a new office/laundry room in the two car garage. On the second floor, we replaced carpet, painted each room, replaced trim and doors, replaced electrical throughout, added new heating and air, and added another closet for more storage. On the exterior we added shutters and will paint the bright green garage doors this fall.
