We have loved our simple, comfy home for almost 10 years and have been grateful for the protection and peace it has provided us and our family. Our home was built in December of 2008 and we moved in June of 2011. The home was only lived in for 6 months and then the family foreclosed on the home and it sat vacant for almost 2 years. Although a sad situation for the previous owners, it has been a huge blessing for us. The timing, the price, the location, everything. With that said, after almost 13 years it has been time to do some updates. We have been planning projects for a while, but with the pandemic taking its toll on our income and building supplies and contractors and such, we had been waiting. Somehow the stars all aligned and aligned a little too well :) All of the people we had bids for things on the home could do it all at once. So, great for just knocking it out, not so great on the bank account!
We started with the fence. It has been knocked down for a while and with the past storm it took its toll. We have townhomes behind us, so getting all three neighbors behind and to the sides to agree was a little tricky, but thankfully it was a success and we have a new fence!
While the fence was being installed, we had our contractor Godofredo renovate our upstairs bathroom. The vanity was falling apart, and I could not clean the bathtub no matter how much I tried. As you know in Houston, mold is an annoying fact of life. So, since the kids no longer need a bathtub, we converted it to a bigger shower.
