The Downstairs Bedroom

The Husbear got home from work early today and pulled more of the downstairs bedroom apart. He pulled the Sheetrock from the wall, and under that was (mostly) old tongue-and-groove boarding that had been wallpapered over many times in the past. At some point in the past, there must have been some damage of some sort, as a large section had been replaced with apparently whatever they could find at the time. Pulling off some of the boards to check out what the insulation was like, we discovered there was no insulation in the walls at all! That would explain why it was so cold in that room last winter. We just thought it was because the ghosts stay in that room!

Until next time...

The Downstairs Bedroom

We were going to do the downstairs bathroom next, however we have skipped it and started working on the downstairs bedroom. Since we have moved in over year ago, the floor has had a “bounce” to it. So, we’re pulling up the floor and starting from the ground up. The previous owner had carpeted over press board that was laid on top of plastic that was over the original wood flooring. There was mold between the plastic and the press board, so it all had to be removed.

Downstairs bedroom as it appeared when we moved in.

Until next time...

New Orleans Bound

The Husbear and I are heading to Southern Decadence in New Orleans happening over the Labor Day Weekend. This will be the first time either of us have gone to an event like this, so we’re both really excited! we’re going with several friends of ours, so we won’t be going alone. We had another friend who was supposed to go as well, but just started a new job and couldn’t take off. Hopefully, we’ll have lots of stories and pictures to post after all is said and done.

Until next time...
