Hi everybody, I'm in the middle of a big remodel ( I know, I know, when aren't I in the middle of a big remodel?)
Ok what's up is a complete kitchen redo, new windows, insulation, Hardiplank on the outside, new everything in the kitchen. after that its new floor in the kitchen dining room and living room.
Self and helper stripped 3 layers off the kitchen down to the studs, junked the old cabinets, pulled out all the effed up old wiring and plumbing. Then we went and bought 4 new windows and a 6' slider, got them home and installed them. This included reframing the walls, which were the victims of some real hackjobs, causing a huge sag.

Ok that's where I am today. its rolling along real well. Importing my own Chilean helper was a good idea and he eats it up too. he really likes the USA, especially Oregon.
So---what are you working on?
