What an adventure we have had! We have been living in West Columbia, SC for several months while we tried to finish up the re-modeling of our house in North, SC. It's just about done! I will be sure and post pics of it when it's complete. The transformation is amazing. We completely gutted everything in this late 1800 house down to the studs, re-did all the wiring and plumbing, and rearranged the floor plan. I love it!
Have a great day everyone! Talk to you again soon!
