Farm House

Farmhouse- Week 5

We didn’t get to the house at all last week. It’s difficult when we both end up working on Saturday– our only full day to work hard there. Scott went over last night to put up a second coat in the office and start in another room. It looks like the farmer has been REALLY busy. Things have been done that we didn’t know were going to happen. It’s crazy how much he accomplishes in one week!

The half bath looks about the same. He’s working on a lot of plumbing, so I imagine it will stay this way until thats completely done.

The school room has the ceiling tiles down as he is working on plumbing to the upstairs bathroom. Holes have been filled in. This room will be getting new carpet because it’s in such bad shape.

The master bedroom is a bit of a mess also. I’m not sure what happened around the door. The previous tenants painted over wallpaper. You can see some of it in the last picture above the ceiling line.

Here’s the office with the first coat of paint dried. That first coat always stresses me out because of how splotchy it is. It looks so much better with the second on now. I don’t think I have a picture of that to share. Next week. šŸ˜‰

There’s a bathtub in the big girls’ room! haha!

This upstairs bathroom was in really rough shape. The tub and fixtures were all just really old. The tub had pretty bad rust stains in the bottom and the nozzles for the tub stuck out a good two inches. This room made Scott the most nervous, so I think he’s relieved to see that it’s getting re-done. The other would have absolutely been usable. Just not ideal. I don’t think I ever took pictures of it because it was pretty gross looking.

This house is so special. At first, we were thinking that we would probably move in early June. I’m pretty confident that it won’t be that soon now. It will be worth the wait. I also need to come up with a thank you gift for this man and his sweet wife for all that they are doing.
