You have renovation talent! I'm impressed. Even if you had a 16-year old helping you, that is still a lot of work! We built a solarium onto our house too about 20 years ago. I love it. It's the best part of the house for me.hettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090080775748699453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-74531124568323269212009-10-08T12:21:25.800-05:002009-10-08T12:21:25.800-05:00Caroline our home in Bartelsville was the first ho...Caroline our home in Bartelsville was the first home I'd lived in more than a couple or three years. We were there eleven years and while the situation was not the best I put a lot into our home and yard and ended up falling in love not only with our home, but also the city feel in a smaller town. So this home is the There part of the story.<br /><br />Laura this part of the house is one I had a huge hand in doing. We had also gutted out the bathroom in the master bedroom and part of the back bedroom to make it handicapped accessible for Carol's mother and for Carol and I down the road. If I can dredge up photos from that part I will post them.<br /><br />Aleta, basically we did gut the house. With having a truss roof it made it possible to do the things we did and all were to make our home comfortable to live in as we aged. And the rocks were heavy but I had a dolly and a strapping young high school lad that helped out a bunch.Reddirt Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485995791439570214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-32647344660161734182009-10-08T10:15:32.228-05:002009-10-08T10:15:32.228-05:00You amaze me.

I'm definitely not a nosey person, and just want to sympathise - perhaps you could put "yes" and "yes" against (a) and (b)?? Or simply say that you prefer not to comment?? Positively no offence taken, whatever you reply.<br />CarolineLonicerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141723287143567146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-91864916798421833522009-10-07T22:12:18.538-05:002009-10-07T22:12:18.538-05:00JoJo, it was a lot of work but it was a total joy ...JoJo, it was a lot of work but it was a total joy to open up the living area and combining it with the sunroom. It was like a load was lifted off us by getting rid of the heavy rock feeling.<br /><br />Amy I'm here to tell you that a sunroom is so worth whatever you can afford to put into it. As I said, the covered porch made it an easy choice to close it in for year round use. That part was done about 3 years after we moved there. Carol's mother came to live with us (the first time) and we thought she would enjoy using it when she wanted to enjoy looking out to the backyard to see the flowers. <br /><br />Dar it's amazing the things you can do when you have time and the inspiration to make the changes. Because I was able to do a lot of the work it helped to keep the costs down. And I'd love to swing a hammer with Ty! :-)Reddirt Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485995791439570214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-62777328799151957222009-10-07T20:15:18.191-05:002009-10-07T20:15:18.191-05:00Wow you need to go work for Ty on ABC dang way to ...Wow you need to go work for Ty on ABC dang way to sling a big hammer!
