I am now officially out of money

Yep. I am now broke.

In the past 3 months, I have gone thru sooo much money. Here's the total so far. It's sad considering I am still nowhere near done.

Bathroom = $2,000
Furniture = $3,200
Carpeting = $1,200
Marble Fireplace = $1,800
New ceiling fan, lights, doors = $800

I still need paint and some ceramic floor tiles.

I hope most of this can be written off at tax time so I can recoup some money to do the roof and chimney.

Wow! That is an outrageous amount of money to have gone through! Atleast to me it is LOL I bet your house looks beautiful now though! Best of luck in finishing it up:D

Nope. Lots of manual labor. The ceramic tile was easy to put down and sheetrock and painting isn't too tough. I had a professional do the connections and fistures but other than that, all the materials are available at Home Depot and Lowes.

Lookin' good! How bout some more pics:)

I will. Something isn't working right with the memory card manager on the PC. I load the card and it tells me it can't read it.


As soon as I figure it out, I'll post pics of the new living room with the carpet, furniture, and redone fireplace.

I already saved this pic.
This is the pic of the good part of the floor in the living room right after I ripped the old carpet out. Couldn't save the hardwood. Too much damage in places to refinish it. :(

Oh:( Who ever did that to those beautiful floors should be shot:mad: I just don't understand why people can't see the beauty in wood floors. Sorry you could not save them. Look forward to the pics of the new and improved living room:D

They ruined them. Black stains, paint, gouges. I would have loved to have been able to refinish it but due to the amount of damage, the entire floor would have had to have been replaced. A bit too expensive so I went with carpeting.

I don't get what some people think at times.

Time to start cashing in any favors you have built up........

I know what you mean by broke. we did new water heater, furnace, central air ,privacy fence, new carpet throughout, gutted and rebuilt the bathroom and library. Removed 8 trees, landscaping, electric in 4 rooms and painted trim in1 1/2 yrs. about 40,000 with us doing much of the work. We only paid about 67,000 originally.:D But thats only the FUN part of home ownership. Wait till all the bills come in!!:eek: :eek:

Fireplace

That fireplace looks great!

It looks good. Is there a place to sit down in front of the fire?

Absolutely gorgeous fireplace!! I love fireplaces and I love marble and granite and anything else earthy! :rockon: :carrot: It's too bad about the hardwood though, but at least the carpet will be warmer in the winter!
