Donica Church Road- part 2

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I can’t believe it’s 2020. Obviously it’s been awhile since I’ve made a post. I’m just trying to keep up with life and this blog always seems to fall on the back burner. I am going to try to change that in 2020!

We have a lot going on in our flipping lives right now and we have so many new, fun projects planned for 2020.  We are dying to get started on them- think NEW and BIG, but that means we need to finish up the ones that have been hanging around for awhile…which brings me to this post.

I’m sure you guys have been wondering about Donica Church Road. You know- that house I posted about back in June of 2018. Yeah, a year and a half ago. Actually, my first blog post ever!! Well, maybe you don’t remember, since after all, it was my first blog post ever. If you need a refresher- click here.

We are finallllllly making some progress with this one. It sat on the back burner for a really long time, clearly. It is just such a huge project that other smaller projects kept taking priority. Well, not anymore. We are in full swing and it’s getting me really excited.

We ended up basically starting from scratch. The whole back wall of the house was collapsing. Once that came down there were more issues and more issues and more issues. Yeah, I could go on forever. The garage- it had to go too- it was basically falling over as well. Oh, the crawlspace? Yeah, it was a foot deep, maybe. No way anyone was getting under there.

Let’s just show you some pictures. First, here’s one with the whole second story removed.

Then, we’ve got the side of the house. You can see the concrete floor where the garage use to be. Gone now. It will be rebuilt and it will be a really good size!

Next we have the crawlspace. Most of the floor joists had to be replaced, so we dug out the crawlspace a bit to make it actually possible to access.

But guess what? We now have a HOUSE again…

So exciting!! The front porch will be removed and completely re-done and the garage will be added.

Slowly, but surely, we are getting there. I can’t wait to show you the finished product. It’s going to be a HUGE transformation. Definitely the biggest one yet. And hopefully it will only be a few more months…. Tony- you reading this? 😉
