downstairs -- remodel

In aniticipation for our little JUNEBUG, we're ripping up our downstairs to make way for the extra room we'll be needing. We're the 3rd owners of the property since it was built in 1940 and the original owners raised their two daughters here and eventually converted it to a duplex in the late 1960s...anyway, we're now making way to create our very own 4 bedroom 3 1/2 bath casa which will have plenty of room for the little bug and a few more!!

Check out some of our current photos of the remodel...

old kitchen - from the 1950's

This is definitely a great shot of the little bug getting some sun. This position is quite popular these days - Rachel relaxing with a peanut butter/chocolate shake in hand!!

Good pick of Rach overlooking the lake, which has recently been drained to deal with a "bromate" issue. Basically, there's a naturally occurring growth which if we drank it over 70 plus years it could cause cancer so the city is draining the lake, cleaning the bottom and then going to re-fill it and no longer use it for drinking water (which was always the plan after 9/11). Now you have more information about Silver lake then most residents!!
