The Broken House

For as long as Greg and I have been together we have known that we want to buy, fix, and sell houses. We have talked and talked and talked about it. Finally, this March, we took the giant leap and bought a house to fix and re-sale. This has consumed all of our free time ever since. We have had to mix family time with work time for now. But hopefully the payoff will be worth it.

Greg, Jack and Rob have been working some long, hard hours away from thier families to get the job done quickly. They make a great team and they are very, very talented craftsmen!!!

Shortly after we bought the house Zach started calling it "The Broken House" and the name has stuck. That is what we have called it ever since. Soon we will have to change the name though. We are finally down to the last month of work. It is getting REALLY exciting. I have to admit, I kind of wish it was going to be my own house. It will be beautiful when it is finished. I am not going to reveal the big before and after photos untill we have it complete (early July) but here are some pictures taken along the way.

Fun to see. Greg you are such a dork!! But that is meant as a compliment as I think much of your dorkiness is intentional.

xoxoxoxo

Sorry, I realize some of those pictures of Greg are a little inapropriate... I don't have many pictures where he isn't making some sort of gesture. I don't ever notice it while I'm taking the picture. I guess my blog site isn't exactly G rated... We'll work on that...
He's kind of naughty, but I still love him!!!

Just click "make your own" on mine and it easily walks you through it.

Rachel, did you say that you think "some" of Greg's dorkiness is intentional? Have you ever spent an hour or two with the guy? Full on x-rated intentional dorkiness. I love you too, Greg! Can't wait to see all the pics from Extreme Makeover, Mooney edition.
