This blog is about our rehabilitating a mid-century modest home, on a limited budget but with a goal of having a house that is simple but adequate for our needs and economical to live in. One of our aims is to use as much used/recycled/re-purposed material as possible, and only absolutely necessary new materials.

Holes and more holes and holes yet to be created. Pipes with pin holes.
Drains with holes. Walls with holes. Walls with no plaster. Floors with
holes. Holes everywhere. We thought we would not have much new. Ha. It now
has new doors and windows. This house will have all new
pipes and new walls bath and kitchen walls. There is a huge sag in the
kitchen floor. This will have have old rotted flooring removed, it will
have to be jacked from the basement and new plywood put on the floor.
I'm sure this would be very expensive if we hired it to be done. Redneck
is doing it himself. This picture is shot from the same corner as the last picture I took. This is the kitchen. On the left is the bathroom - no walls. You can see the stink pipe on the left but the other pipes have been removed. The drain pipes have to be sawed out. Redneck went around and propped them up so they don't all fall down when he cuts them. Many leaks and holes. Gas pipes were removed as well. Kind of scary to think about holes in gas pipes isn't it.
