Totally Random Pics of Lydia

She loves her IKEA Poang chair and
reading her many, many books!

Look Mommy...I can turn the TV on!!! :)

This was after the Great Mosquito Attack of 2010!

Lydia LOVES putting her money in her piggy
...if only it came back out though, hmm?!

Roofing!

Here's the front after stripping all the shingles.  Most of it is pretty solid, but you will notice
some rotting along the front porch area...good thing Joel's handy!

Yup, there's the rotting!

This was the biggest problem, where the 2 roof lines overlapped. 
The post holding up the top portion had rotted
also so that made the top part drop down and was sitting
directly on thebottom portion of the roof.  This then created more
rotting and an actual hole that was leaking into
the closet in the front living room!

The very early stages! Here we go!






Well, here is my grandparents house that Joel and I are purchasing (eventually, if our house ever sells).   It doesn't exactly look like much now, but I think we can turn this money pit into something great!  :)

Kitchen looking towards back family room and to the left of the kitchen is the garage entrance and 1/2 bath.

Looking from the dining room (yes, we will actually have a dining room...I'm so excited! ) into the front livingroom.

Looking to the back corner of the front livingroom.









Full Bathroom!
