We purchased our first home in Baltimore, MD, within the neighbor of Remington during May 2005. It was a cute 2 story, with full basement, 2BR 1B, and enclosed front porch. This blog documents our work on the house and life during that time. A project we will never forget :)

we have decided to finish the whole room before we move in.... all ready for mud... so pretty!! Posted by Picasa


skylight and light in the bathroom... it wasnt too tough but we probably should have done the ceiling before the walls... make it easier with getting the sheets in and manipulated...  Posted by Picasa

I went ahead and put the ceiling fan together to get a feel for the wiring and installation. Also wanted to see how well it went together and worked before we bought the others just like it for the back bedroom and living room... Posted by Picasa


A little more drywall... its going slow.. not as much fun as other stuff... So we have to be motivated more to get it done... Posted by Picasa


Beth did some insulation under the front porch area that was making the basement cold... This area of the house gave Beth a couple bumps in the head... Posted by Picasa


I organized and took inventory of what wood we had left in the basement. Posted by Picasa
