Please note, if you are out of the US and win this prize, it takes up to 3-5 weeks for it to arrive. Patience in this regard is appreciated.

Tomorrow will be lots of pictures, the inspector will be here by 7:30 am, then concrete is poured. Footings go in and deck comes off, please see my previous posts and video’s to see what all is going on.

Happy Easter! House Pics, Blog candy and more!

To see the slide show click YOUTUBE.

The remodeling is at a stand still until Monday, and weather premitting. Then things around here will be very exciting!

Before I start today’s post, Happy Easter! It will be quiet here and we’ll be anticipating the workers arriving again on Monday.

This week’s non rain days are supposed to be Monday and Tuesday and Friday. Monday will be a huge work day. Siding comes off, and the new will go up, inspector will come which means porch decking is framed up. Then they destruct the back deck.

When our workers get to the back deck, the only entry will be to and from the basement door. I hope that the front door/ deck will be accessible. The attic also gets an upgrade, They are blowing in insulation and replacing the exsiting vents and putting in a new attic fan.

Now if “mommy” can just talk “daddy” into new living room furniture. Well, soon maybe!

Have a great Easter!

Christ is Savior and Lord and he is indeed risen.

House renovation progress, a video and a WINNER!

Hi friends!

Many exciting things are happening and very quickly. My builders where on sight today to frame in the front porch roof. We have to hold off on the deck boards until after it passes county inspection. It is a massive front porch and really makes the entry to our home pop.

Here is a video of the pictures from yesterday and today, I hope you will enjoy them.

On another note, I only had five comments on the Maigan Lynn project from April 19. Since one of the wonderful comments was from Maigan herself, I decided to give the project to her.

Larisa, Boni, Cebelica and Christina, please email me at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com. I would like to make this fair and send you something from my personal stash. Thank you so much for leaving comments. I appreciate them so very much.

Stamp Happy, be a blessing!

The Remodel continues

Worker disassembling porch

Worker disassembling porch, as you can see all shrubs have been removed.

From accross the street, porch is now gone, we now have the fugliest house in the neighborhood. The car in front is my “Stamper” mo-bile!

A bit closer viewo f the front door that is now 4ft off the ground.

Another view of the porch torn off and the new frame work for the new porch is in place.

Now we get to move forward. The forecast is calling for more rain and tomorrow will probally be a partial work day. 

Mike and I had doctor appointments today, I am happy to report other than my blood pressure being a bit elevated (umm, wonder why?!) we are both doing well. I’ve dropped 5 pounds bringing my current total weight loss to 9 pounds. Not much but this was the “important” visit to be sure I am healthy enough to start some walking and other exercise routines.

That means there is only fourteen months until his son’s wedding, June 12, 2012. Oh the task of loosing the weight seems great, so I ate a cookie and got over it.

Tomorrow’s post features a single give away, it is a Queen Kat Tuesday, I hope you will come back and visit.

Enjoy the pictures, I’m enjoying a few hours of quiet without hammers, drills and saws running. Have a great night, Stamp Happy, be a blessing!

Swaps, and random ramblings — video of projects

Please click here to view the slide show on Youtube. After several attempts to attach the picture using the bloger video I finally gave up. So please click above to watch the video.

The stick pin swap was held on this group.

I made the never ending card for my husband. I will be giving it to him along with a pair of new house slippers. We call them “Scuffies” because you “scuffie” through the house or take the dogs out for doggie business. His old ones finally wore out after more than 15 years so for Christmas he bought a new pair. They started loosing their ‘fluff’ the first week he had them. They are lamb’s wool lined and now have almost completely fallen apart.

After some research to find a similar pair to the ones he owned origionally I purchaed them from a big box store at a good price. They are being shipped to me, and should arrive by the weekend. I am excited to present them to him. He does so much for me, making his feet warm and comfy for the rest of the cold weather is such a blessing.

The slide show incorporates the never ending card, stick pin swap from your paper pantry and of course the never ending card.

UPDATE some of our materials have been delivered today. Tomorrow our roof is coming off, the eaves are being built out and the installation of the new front and back door will be replaced. Then over the weekend, the front porch and back deck get a demolision and the re-building begins. It may be a week before the new siding (In green and mist) goes on. The shutters are a chocolate brown. I’m so excited!

Have a great day, stamp happy!
