When we bought this house, we knew it was going to be a fixer-upper. Just under a year in and we’ve gotten a few things done when we can. Money has been a factor in our timeline, but we have gotten certain things accomplished already such as a new air-conditioning unit some outside projects and getting all of the electric in the house replaced. It was actually still k**b and tube in here. We had maybe three or four outlets that had the three holes (grounded). That was a pretty hefty price tag but our house is officially up to code at least. We have fire alarms! The kitchen was going to be the first stop in our renovation in terms of looks. We have a few theories as to what happened to the floor, but it all comes back to water damage. We know there was a roof leak at some point because there is bubbling in the ceiling tile. We also know that the spot that is rotten is in front of where the refrigerator is supposed to be. I think the two together meaning a leaky roof and a leaky refrigerator contributed to the water damage in the tile. So overtime we’ve had several tiles pop off because they weren’t really glued down? Some of them are sticky, but it seems like some of the tiles were just wedged in instead of being actually glued. Anyway, they come off either by us walking on them or being knocked when I’m cleaning and expose the osb. My parents and brother made the drive here this week so they can help us replace the layers of OSB and I thought you might be interested in seeing parts of the process. I’m so happy this is finally happening!
