Mom's Remodel

The past few months my mom's house has been being remodeled. The brothers have been busy for sure. They started around Thanksgiving. I was able to 'help' with a bit of the destruction phase. (I say 'help' loosely because I had no clue what I was doing.) Mike finished installing the kitchen last night and Erik will finish the lights today. After that, it's just putting things back to where they should be. Here are some pics of the process that I've been able to see.

Erik knocking out the old insulation from the ceiling. (Nasty stuff).

Mike vacuuming the nastiness away.

The floor had been completely removed and new floor joists installed.

More of the wall-less, floor-less, ceiling-less living room. (We filled a huge trailer with all the wood from the destruction period.)

Putting in the sub-flooring.

Kaleb helping in instal the carpet.

Kaleb and Adrin working on the carpet.

The new wood floor (solid oak). Aunt Susan watching Mike getting ready to instal cabinets.

Mom checking out the first new cabinet.

The finished product. (Almost....still needs some shelves.)

Awesomeness.

Another view of the awesomeness. (Without the sink the Bryan finished installing last night.)

Everything looks so much bigger. I can't believe the change. Mom did a dance of joy last night and let out a huge "Wahoo!" She just keeps walking in and smiling and feeling the cabinets. I think she likes it.
