Building our family and home on the foundation of Jesus

Welcome to our country home remodel! The earliest entries of this blog are from a country home remodel we finished up last summer and successfully sold the home. We're now excited to be on a new remodel with new challenges! Thanks for checking in our progress.

Finishing Touches


The carpet was installed earlier this week in the 4th bedroom and new family/toy room. The girls have been in these spaces almost nonstop the last few days! There are two more windows to trim and transition pieces yet for the floor.


We also have the light fixtures up, but not running yet as the new panel comes in next week and will not run not only these lights, but also the heat sources for these rooms and the entire house. Speaking of electric, our provider sent a crew out this week to tighten the overhead wire (a good 3 feet higher!) and cut back some large branches overhanging the wire. Looks nice! Also this week, we had a new pressure tank for the well installed. It should be maintenance free and more efficient.
The house is coming together exactly as we pictured it when we bought it last fall. Just in time to move. YES! Move...again! Jake had an unexpected but too-good-to-pass-up job offer with a district about 2 hours from here. Too long to commute! Rather than sell, we found a great family from our church to rent it and we, in turn, found a house to rent where we're moving to. We're very happy with all the work we've done and know that our investment will pay off someday. :)
