Breaking Ground

As you all know we bought a "fixer upper" cabin in Truckee this last summer. Christian is an amazing Carpenter and can take on any project big or small. We have been dreaming and planning what we are going to do to transform our house into a home. We broke ground today! We are starting with the entertainment area. This weekend Christian tore down three walls and built the frame for our new, bigger and better built-in entertainment center! The shelves will have to go up slowly as we get extra money but it exciting to get our house project under way. We also started the air lock, which is a little mud room as you walk into the house to keep the heat in during the winter. We plan on putting french doors in the giant gap you see between each wall. Christian is going to tile the air lock next weekend. We'll keep you updated as the renovation continues!
BEFORE: The entertainment center went on the next to the fireplace.
Before: There was a wall separating the entry from the garage entry and another wall separating the garage entry from the laundry room
Christian let me do the first smash into the walls! No turning back now!
He tore down the rest of the walls....

Then he built new walls!
He put in new electrical stuff.....





We put the old entertainment center where the new one is going until we get wood for the built in part.
It's going to be ALOT bigger than our old entertainment center!
Christian is the BOMB!!
