Demo has begun people! This past weekend we got started and we're just now getting things posted because of a lovely little hurricane named Irene. So we'll have to catch you up until this point. As we speak, I mean blog, Jeff and I are sitting enjoying WiFi courtesy of Cole Farms in Gray Maine (i.e. our new spot to hang out with all the q-tips while we take a break from The Farm). We officially closed on the house last Tuesday- exactly a week ago! We've been waiting for this day since May 8th 2011, the day that we first went under contract. So last Tuesday was a BIG day.
This past weekend we enlisted the help of Kathi, Michelle, and Makenna to demo. Let me tell you these ladies are the equivalent of having at least 6 people doing demo- these Peterson gals don't mess around. Ok so without further ado... the pictures!
Sorry... there's a lot.

ReplyDeleteYour mother in law loved being able to help you, basement and all. Will be back again for more. So happy for you both. I know it is so much work but the end result will be a home filled with love, welcoming to family and friends alike.
