This is the journey of Dan and Hilma on the road not only to remaking, remodeling, renovating and restoring an old home in Ionia, Michigan, but remaking, remodeling and restoring our marriage and family. We are almost done with the project on the house, but we plan to continue working on the marriage and family. Join us on this journey and share the bumps, detours and highlights as we go. We know from previous experience it will not be a smooth ride, but it WILL be fun! So, buckle up!

July 2014
It's been a very long time since we've posted anything on here! But we thought we'd add a few tidbits since we're doing more on the house now.
We are now informed by our insurance company that there are still a few things they'd like to see done to keep our insurance coverage. We think that's pretty important, so we've been working.....
Last summer we tackled the basement windows. They had been boarded shut and were deteriorating pretty badly. Dan, with the help of a friend (that always seems to be the case, doesn't it? - we're just extremely thankful for good friends!!!) tore them out. He then poured new sills and installed glass block. Does it ever look nice!
This weekend, since it's a holiday, and we seem to only be able to work holidays, we are tackling the front porch. The insurance company thought it would fall off the house. Well, after much slamming with the sledgehammer, Dan is quite sure the thing would never have just fallen off!
Here is part of the process:
