The House That Andy Rebuilt

Many have been asking for pictures and updates on the house. So very much has been done since we bought the place in August (most with Andy's own hands). It was very much in disrepair at that time with only studs for walls, no electric, and much demo still needed. The flooding that followed Katrina caused about 5 foot of water to sit in the first floor of the home for approximately 3 weeks. The prior owners did do some demo immediately after the waters receeded including mold remediation. The biggest blessing of this house is that the upstairs has 3 bedrooms and a full bath that allow us to live there comfortably while working on the rest. While plenty remains to be done, much progress has been made including new walls and paint, new electric, tile flooring, complete redo of the interior steps (with much thanks to the hardwork of Andy's mom & dad), new carpet on the steps and upstairs, entirely new kitchen, new hall bathroom, and as of today, we are half-way to getting the new hardwood floors installed downstairs. Having the floors done is the milestone we have been waiting for to get our belongings delivered --which we haven't seen since the moving truck left JC on Oct 16, so hopefully soon! I can't find a good photo of the new kitchen with cabinets and appliances, but the 3rd photo down is the kitchen before and I will take a few after photos and post them soon.
