Da BIG Remodel - Third Posting

Hey Dere, Guys!
Me's back wit da turd installment of me Horror Story!

If ya missed Pawt One and Pawt Two, you can see dem here:



********************************
Before me starts, me gotted a couple of emails from a couple of you guys asking exactly what we were doing.  So here is a history of this ongoing project.  Since me wasn't around when it all began, me will turn dis over TEMPORARILY to me ASSistant.

Thank you, sweet girl...
Our house was originally built in 1992 when we moved from Michigan to Florida.  We had our garage attached to the house from the back, rather than the side.  This left a big open gap right in back of the house from where the garage ended running along the back part of the house.  So we decided to enclose this area with screen and make it into a large screen room.  We found over the years that the screen room was pretty much unusable because of the way all the sand (we have sand instead of dirt) from the yard blew into the room.  On a windy day, the entire room was full of sand.  So about ten years later John decided to take down the screen and put up aluminum siding and windows to keep out the sand.  This still didn't work because now the room was excessively HOT all the time and we still couldn't use it. So about five years later John decided again to tear the room down and build it using plywood and drywall and get a large window air conditioning/heating unit.  But the window unit didn't work either because the room was so large (25 feet x 40 feet).  So we invested in a second central air conditioning unit.  This worked out OK until the plywood walls started warping and leaking, along with the roof.  It was obvious that we had to do something else as too many leaks were popping up with each new rainfall.  The carpeting was pretty much ruined as you can see in some of the pictures of the old rolled up carpet.  (Looks like pee stains, but it's actually from the leaking ceiling).  So, in the spring of 2012, we decided to take another plunge and hire a construction company to build a shell made of cinder block.  John had to completely tear down the old room before the construction company moved in and built the shell in the late Fall of 2012.  After the shell was finished, John finished all the rest of the work by himself (with the help of the pack, of course). The entire process took 18 months to complete.  Hopefully we'll never have to change anything ever again.  I don't think I'd survive this a fourth time!   ☺

Now I'll let Amber finish taking you on a tour of
THE BIG REMODEL PROJECT!
**********************

Okee Dokee, folks!  Here we go!  WEEEeeeeeee!

October 22, 2013
 Moving on to da rest of da house.  Da old carpet is torn out, all da furniture is taken out, everyting is packed into boxes, and da painting begins.
 Bailey not very hap-pee sissy.  Me tinks her is crying.
 Used to be a BIG round spa tub right here.  It was never used in 22 years because da hot water heater was stingy providing hot water to fill it.  So....out it went to da front of da house.  Didn't take long fur someone to stop by and take it to a new home.  At least it got rescued from going to da dump!
 More boxes to pack!  Hope me don't get packed too.
 Painting all done.  Getting ready fur da carpet people.  Da floor sure looks funny witout carpet.  Where be me roller skates??
Da big sofa (da pack likes dis one cause we's can all sit on it while da pawrents sit on da floor) was da furst to be moved down to da new room.  Still no carpet down dere yet though.
 Da double doors are gone (where dey go??)  And what's dis new railing fur, Dad?
 More Clean Up
 Where are we???  Who are we???
 We be so confused!
 Is it dis way to da doggie door...or maybe it dat way???
