Holy Construction project! After 2 years of waiting - The monster job of lifting the 1870's farm house is finally underway. Many sounds of demo work have filled the air over the last few months to reveal one serious tear out job...the home is uninhabitable but the contractors are so dedicated they are pitching tents inside and working in shifts to speed up the process.

Just waiting for the contractor to give a thumbs up to go to home depot to pick out the new flooring...I predict some kick-ass after photos are in store soon.

How exciting! I bet the stress level is high right now, but it will be so awesome to have it all done and be able to move on with your future plans for the house!
