Skocik Money Pit: April 2015
http://skocikhouse.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. Now We Won't Fall Down the Stairs! The railing is finally installed! This area has gone through quite the transformation since we first saw it over 5 1/2 years ago. Here are just the recent photos of this space - the railing really makes it look finished. Chris did a fantastic job (now I just need to finish caulking and touching up the paint). The kids are generally pretty good about playing together. Here is a picture of them playing with the rice sensory bin. We still have a few...

Skocik Money Pit: May 2015
http://skocikhouse.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Summer is Here (i.e. IT"S HOT! We did a lot of work this weekend. Most of the work involved moving things from one part of our house to another so that we can tackle our last MAJOR project (yes, there are still some minor ones left too). The last major project is finishing the rest of the basement. It is about 900 sq. ft that is currently a disaster. Here's a reminder of what this part of the basement looked like when we first bought the house. Tuesday, May 19, 2015. The very excit...

Skocik Money Pit: March 2015
http://skocikhouse.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. We were able to finish up a lot of the bathroom this week. The shower and floor are grouted and the vanity, lights, shelves, and toilet are all in place. I moved a ton of stuff downstairs that was not necessary for the remaining work. It gave Chris plenty of space to install most of the trim. Hopefully we'll be able to caulk and touch up the paint this week. We also had an egg hunt today with my MOPS group. Josh's face says it all - it was a blast! Samantha has been coloring a lot...

Skocik Money Pit: We're Moving!
http://skocikhouse.blogspot.com/2015/08/were-moving.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. We are a little busy around here because we're moving to a new state! We will be leaving Maryland by the end of the month for the Rochester, NY area. I don't have much time to sit around but I'll be sure to post a lot of pictures of all our progress (and FINAL before/after photos) when I get a chance. We'd appreciate your prayers during this stressful time! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Kristy and Chris Photos. K, M, and L Adventures (Craft Family Blog).

Skocik Money Pit: Sunroom, Porch, and Basement Progress
http://skocikhouse.blogspot.com/2015/07/sunroom-porch-and-basement-progress.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. Sunroom, Porch, and Basement Progress. Another project that is very close to finished is the front porch. There is one railing section to finish so I'll post pictures when it's complete. We did a lot of drywall work this week in the basement. The drywall is installed in about half of the space and the first coat of compound is on. It's looking a lot better and hopefully soon we'll have it in much better shape. Hopefully we'll get to take a little break this week! Fourth of July Fun!

Skocik Money Pit: September 2014
http://skocikhouse.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 22, 2014. Over the weekend we didn't do any work on the house but had a lot of fun. Chris had his homebrew club crab feast on Saturday. He was there most of the day and had a great time. While he was eating crabs and drinking beer, the kids and I went to the local homecoming parade. Samantha was so excited to get candy! Once we picked him up from his feast, we went to a local music festival. It was very crowded but we had some fun and dinner. Josh's first two teeth broke through this we...

Skocik Money Pit: Tedious Work
http://skocikhouse.blogspot.com/2015/07/tedious-work.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. We've been doing plenty of projects around here - tedious ones but it's forward progress. Chris did a lot of work on the porch railing. There is still one section left to complete but it looks great! We also had some fun. I took the kids to the science center on Friday - they had a blast! Our neighbors got some new chicks so we got to pay a little visit. They have a dozen and they are adorable. We'll be visiting often as they grow! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Sweet Life...

Skocik Money Pit: Fence, Sunroom, and Basement Progress
http://skocikhouse.blogspot.com/2015/07/fence-sunroom-and-basement-progress.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Fence, Sunroom, and Basement Progress. We got a LOT accomplished this weekend. My parents came to town and my mom babysat while we worked hard on some big projects. It was insanely hot and I think we all lost multiple pounds in sweat alone. I still have to finish painting it to match the other fence but it's already a huge improvement! It was then fully sealed but was still curvy and ugly. We added a frame, some paneling, and trim to make it a lot nicer. I still need to pa...We al...

Skocik Money Pit: August 2014
http://skocikhouse.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2014. Checked Off Checklist and Fully Completed Patio! This week has to be one of the most productive we've had in awhile. My mom came down on Thursday evening and helped watch the kids so Chris and I could accomplish some things around the house. While I was on a closet kick (and since it rained most of Saturday) I decided to tackle the kids closets too. These are the time consuming tasks that are always put off for a long time but make such a difference once they are complete. Speak...
