Renovations





So as some of you know all us Starkes, Yarn and Crandell kids started remodeling Jackie's house last November. We made the two bedrooms up stairs into one big room with a walk in closet so that way Jackie could use her room down stairs as a office/craft room or what ever it may be. We gutted the up stairs completely, new insulation and drywall and electric, etc. Well here it is a year later and the room is still not completed. Everyone has been very busy this past year and trying to work as much as possible with the economy being so crapy. So, the goal is to have everything completed and all of Jackie's stuff moved into her new room by Thanksgiving. Brandi painted a while ago but the paint got all scratched up so this weekend Brandi touched up as much as she could before she had to leave back to Taylor for Jaimin's T-ball game and Brandon, Brian and Mike did some drywall on the new stairs that were completely taken down and rebuilt due to the old stairs being so freakin steep, you even had to walk up and down them sideways because they were little bitty steps. I don't have any pictures of what the bedroom looks like so far, but I do have some of the stairs. The new stairs look so much better then the old ones and Brandon is getting ready to do the texture so that way Brandi can come in and paint them. Brandi is definetely the painter in the family, she does an awesome job. So here are some pictures.
