Shelob's Remodeled Lair

Well, it's been a long time since I've posted anything because it seems like a long time since any real progress has been made on the house.  I think that in the wake of Hurricane Harvey all of the subcontractors took on extra work and our house was neglected :( But we are back on track and the stairs are done!  They still need to be stained, but it's exciting to see the the carpentry done because this was the impetus for the whole renovation project.  We knew we needed to redo the stairs and everything else just snowballed from there.

Due to Hurricane Harvey we've had to hire a new contractor and he is demolishing the entire house! Just kidding :)   This is Ian helping out with some post-flooding clean up in the Houston area.

The paint crew has been hard at work.  The ceilings and trim are all done, and the walls are nearly finished as well.  As they've finished with rooms we've been going through behind them and installing ceiling fans, light fixtures, door knobs, hinges, plates, etc.  It's finally starting to look like a house!     Ian's Bedroom Jason's Bedroom I like Painted closets (not white)     New (non-brass) Door Knobs and Hinges      Before
