Deconstruction, Rehabilitation, Demolition and Rebuilding

We've been home now for almost 2 months, and yet, we still aren't done replacing furniture and decor, but we are well on our way. Right now, it's just a matter of playing the insurance game, buying what we can afford, turning in receipts, waiting for

We Are Home

There's definitely more work to do (the kitchen has no plumbing, the replacement rugs have yet to show up, the house has no guttering, and most importantly, of course, my theater equipment is still all boxed away :), but, since this past Saturday was

Temp Home Sweet Temp Home...

We realized the other day that we've been living with the Delgado's now for 7 months (and as of the revised estimates we received on Friday, if they hold true, it's going to be another 2, for a total of 9 for those too lazy to do the math) and we've never

Cornucopia of Color

The house has now been completely painted on the inside. If you had seen the house after we renovated it the first time, you'll know that we enjoyed having a color for each room. We went back with the same idea, though, now that the house is a bit more

Whoops!

This is what happens when the dumpster guys don't show up and the drywall guys do and need to make space to keep working. Needless to say, we are doing everything we can to line up a dumpster as quickly as possible (I'm sure our neighbors are ready for

Open Window Policy

After having made some good progress last week with the all of the new electrical wiring and plumbing and framing passing inspection, and insulation in the house having been completed, and all the drywall having been delivered (and currently residing

Good News and (potentially) Bad News

Good News We passed the framing, plumbing, and electrical inspections. (potentially) Bad News Dr. Hess is putting his property up for sale next door. That brings the total properties for sale on our small block up to 2, which will be 3 here shortly when

Holiday Card Recycling

We definitely phoned this one in. Take last year's holiday postcard, swap out the dogs (and even leave in the replacement Santa face), and instant 2008 holiday postcards. Annabel has grown quite a bit over the past year. Here's last year's card for a

Six Layers Under

Work on the house has been progressing. Fortunately, the house is now weathered in, so no more worries about having to dry out the floors every time it rains. Now, we just have to finish the inside of the house to make it livable once again. We've been

Loaning My Credit to California

When I read about Schwarzenegger requesting a loan to keep the state of California running , I had no idea they were going to take it from me personally. Apparently, our Discover card is being used somewhere in California. Discover called me today to

Adaptive Reuse: How Not to Do It

It's a very enlightening experience when you tear out all of the walls and ceilings from a home that you know for a fact has had some major construction done inside over the course of close to 115 years. Enlightening as in, now we can clearly see why

!@#$%^&*

This morning someone broke into the house and stole most, if not all, of the contractors' tools that are being stored in our house during the rebuilding. Apparently, they had gotten in through the cellar door, which has never had the best lock in the

What a Difference a Day Makes

I walked around town on Saturday during the Historic Home Tour snapping random photos. I picked a few key photos and took the same shots this morning after the wind storms on Sunday. I tossed them into the Flash viewer I built to do comparisons between

Skylight We Never Wanted

We've been collecting photos and uploading them all to Flickr. I apologize for the mess, the house was clean when we left. Photos from the New Albany Fire Department (Day of Fire) Photos from the New Albany Fire Department (Day After) Photos from ServPro

Home Sweet Home...

By now, most of you have probably heard, our house caught on fire earlier today. I was in Phoenix for work and scheduled to leave on Saturday, but I'm now home. So is Tabitha (I was in training when the alarm company called me, and she was actually in
