We are well into our first home improvement project as a married couple. We** tackled the bathroom remodel about a year ago but this time we have decided to go big. This includes raising a floor, knocking down walls, replacing windows, all new electrical work/lighting, replacing a sliding glass door, moving a door, adding a closet and pulling carpet to install hardwood flooring. Phew!
The project quickly became our "night job" so the evenings of lighting a fire, making dinner and watching TV are so 2009 right now! The living room/kitchen turned construction zone provides some regular challenges as daily life continues but we are certainly enjoying the transformation of our home. It is also fun to watch how many resources the Tiltges family has when it comes to projects of this nature. They are a handy bunch and have every power tool to ever grace the aisles of Home Depot. PLUS - Uncle Leo and team really do "think outside the box" always coming up with the best use of space and future proofing. We will post updates and before and after photos soon!

**Allow me to clarify the "We." Rick and I knew long before the wedding bells that a marriage is give and take. In the case of a home remodel…he is doing way more than his fair share of giving. I contribute where I can (usually by making material choices or feeding him) but his hard work never ceases to amaze me. He comes home from his “day job” and jumps right into the “night job.” Around 9pm he is done working for the evening and suits up to take Stewie on a walk. Sure there are nights where I catch him falling asleep standing up but his overall "can do" attitude is 100% admirable!
