Remodeling the Sun Room - Part 1

A while back, we had our first-time homebuyer lesson on why you should never take short cuts to get a job done on your home...unfortunately for us, the owners before us liked to cut a lot of corners. We found out that the ceiling in our sun room had tiles stapled to it and they all came crashing down.

For at least a year now, we have been ignoring the ceiling in the sun room, but this weekend we decided to tackle our first big project together with the help of my wonderful engineer father and my really short mother. :)

Take a look at our first remodeling project...


Tearing down the leftover porch pieces...not fun or easy, yes they even left up the porch light

Looks like we'll need to update the paint & trim after this project

Love the green duct tape work over the insulation

Tequila helping...he kept trying to eat the sheetrock and sleep on the insulation

My dad hooking up real wires for the ceiling fan...not the little stereo wire like before

They had forgotten a stud...insert Brian :)

Putting plastic up before we dry wall tomorrow...its already looking better

Admiring his labors

After an 8+ hour project, this is where Tequila finally ended up

Day 1 was exhausting and tomorrow the real fun part begins. Stay tuned for more updates...


XOXO,

Sara & Brian
