I haven’t been able to do much with the camaro for a while, mostly due to extra money going into the house which we bought 1 year ago. Honestly, I didn’t expect to do as much as we have in this first year and its coming along really well. The 3 bedroom ranch house we bought was built in 1961, on a nice piece of level land, and hadn’t been updated since. We started by painting the whole inside of the house, ripped up all the carpet (see nasty green carpet in pics below) to reveal a nice hardwood which just needed a fresh clear finish. The kitchen was in need of new cabinets, floor, appliances (the old setup didn’t have a dishwasher), and trim.
Here’s a couple pics of pics of what we started with:
I just finished up the new kitchen in the last couple of weeks. New cabinets, countertops, dishwasher, fridge, sink, disposal, faucets, range, range hood, and ceramic tile floor were all installed by myself and Lisa. It took about 2 weeks downtime eating at my parent’s house, and then another 2 weeks finishing up with the details. Cost ~ 4k
Couple pics of the new kitchen: (See one of our dogs, Callie, likes to get in the picture)
Couple pics of the living room with new furniture:
Couple pics of the dogs (Piston - 80lb Male Chocolate Lab, Callie - 70lb Female Yellow Lab)
Next up are finishing painting the outside trim, barn type shed, new windows, and a new deck. Then maybe it’ll be time for some car mods.

Really nice job. If I had to do a kitchen, that’s the way I would do it.
My parents have that same recliner too, it’s nice!
