SOLD THE MARYLAND HOUSE!!!!!!

Great News.  After nearly four and a half long months we finally sold the house in Maryland.  Friday the appraiser came and today the home inspection was done.  Settlement day is March 23rd.  We will finally make the move to Pennsylvania a week before closing.  A lot of packing needs to be done!!

For the last two weeks Mike as been working on the tear out of the downstairs bathroom. See pictures for February 1. Here's a picture before the tear out.


and here are pictures of after......





Mike's truck taking away all the rubble.

What you can't see is that there is a fairly large hole in the bathroom floor and the basement can be seen below.  If any critter crawls up through that hole I just don't know what I will do!!  But it won't be pleasant for poor Mike!!

        Have a great week and please check back in.  Write me a comment!!  Valerie

Still working away.....



Last week we painted the living room ceiling a really pretty shade of blue.  It came out great.  Hope you can see it in the picture.  You should be able to see the crown moulding Mike put up too.
The walls are a camel color.


This is how the bathroom looked last week.  Lots of 1925 green tile and a bunch of other colors.
  And very old bathroom fixtures.  Take a look at that sink!!


This is the small tile around the walls.


This is Mike fixing the large leak in the bathtub right after we bought the house.


But this week a lot of it is gone.  Mike started the demolition work.  Now a couple of the walls are gone.  Will post those pictures next week. 

Have a great week.    Valerie
