James and I Bought a ranch style, fixer-upper built in the 60's. We are in the process of remodeling and hoping to have it finished before we go to China to pick up Lucy.

We met with several painters, drywallers, ceiling scrapers. They all sounded really good and most were recommended by our new neighbors. We decided to go with Han who does it all. It was the easiest thing to do to keep all the steps organized.


We are literally replacing everything inside the house except for the drywall. Beams are being removed, the cottage cheese on the ceiling is being scraped. New heater, ducts and vents. So there is a lot of decision making to what kind of doors, hardware, kitchen cabinets, molding, baseboards, switches, flooring, lighting, kitchen & bathroom fixtures, sinks, toilets, tile. We are the type of people that agonize over the littlest decision, so we've had to get over that quick. We just hope we are making the right ones.
