Unfortunately no "before" photos for this one, but this was the first room I got to do over.  It went from being our bedroom to the boys' bedroom when we merged the upper and lower unit.  I still love the bright blue walls.  It has been a good space for them.  It has changed over time, Big Dog got a twin bed, Little Dog moved to the toddler bed, then to a twin. Now they're in bunk beds.   Now I just can't wait to get started on their new bedroom upstairs!

Merging the two units in the duplex to return this to a single family home.  Have I mentioned how much I love a good sawzall?

Once the house was supported on cribbing several of the posts no longer stood on their piers.  This shows how much the house had sagged to one side!  Once it was supported and leveled, we had a lot more dirt to remove.

Taking down the side deck and making the kitchen and laundry room doors just a bit more of a step up!
