Welcome to the Brier Ranch!

Edited post: Pictures have been removed by blogspot.


I started this blog for the family and friends who are interested in seeing the progress of our new adventure. It was called retirement but now it's called remodeling. LOL Everyone told Hubby he was going to work harder in retirement than he ever did when he was working. They were right. ;-)

The remodeling of the 1969 ranch style home is in full swing. It started out as a 5 bedroom, two bath house. It is being reworked to a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with a canning room and laundry room.  We started in December 2011 so the following photo's are from the start of the project up to today. You will see the 5th wheel in a few of the photos. Yes, we are camping on site, but it's not too bad, we have full hookups, phone, dish and the fastest internet we've ever had! :-)  

The contractor we hired to do some of the work is almost done with his tasks and then it's up to us to do the electrical and pluming. We hired him to do the roof, re-framing, put new windows in, build a bay window, replace sub-flooring where needed, fir out the garage for insulation and drywall, pull trees, move dirt, and put in new exterior doors. We will have other contractors to do insulation and drywall.

Now that I have finally started the blog there won't be as many photo's in one post as I have here. I plan on keeping things more up to date. :-)

Day 54 Quarentine

Yea, you read that right, day 54. It's so crazy to realize it's been that long that we've been isolated. We are retired so even...
