We are remodeling our house in our "spare time." Now that we have a baby, it is trickier to find more time, but we seem to be finding it, because he needs to learn to crawl in a lead-paint-chip free zone. My idea of remodeling was "paint and decorate," and Phil's was "rip the house down and build a new one," so our compromise has lead to all new plumbing, HVAC, upstairs bathroom, new walls (and less walls) and more insulation. We are almost getting to the "paint and decorate" part of the adventure, and I can't wait. Kind of crazy, but very exciting.
Phil and I ripping out the wall between our kitchen and dining room last Spring 
Yes, that is a brick wall separating our kitchen from our dining room. It is now at the dump. Along with a lot more of our house.
New skylight where the swamp cooler used to be
This is the most current job- Phil ripped out the walls in two bedrooms because there was no insulation there at all. We could feel a cold breeze there during the winter. He took out the cinder-block wall, and is reframing and insulating. Yea for lower energy bills!

Okay Phil, it looks like you have aced the construction test for future projects. Just call Uncle Robert for future instructions on additional projects we may have in our house. I mean, really, it's so nice to share your talents.
