We under went a big house project... it was big in cost and life distributing... since it was upstairs they had to trek through the front door, up the stairs and into the front bedroom which was Isaac's. It started November 22nd and completed February 18th roughly (still waiting on outside to get painted when the weather cooperates)
Here are the before photos of the room without furniture.
Outside view before:
They started on Friday November 22nd.
Revealing original hardwood floors! These were covered to stay protected throughout the work.
The room was blocked off upstairs.

Dumpster moved for snow emergency, chute and scaffolding moved - snow and they're done with it. Tarp on the roof, waiting for the roofers to come to complete.
December 31st FINALLY got the roof on! WHEW that was a long wait.
Waiting for our roofers caused a delay because they couldn't do insulation until roof was on incase there was a leak so walls and such couldn't get done. These photos are January 3rd.
Talk about this MASSIVE radiator. After noticing the piping... we asked to investigate putting a smaller radiator back in.
January 11th, we have walls! (I didn't snap a photo of insulation)

Trim work started. I decided I wanted the trim back like Theo rignial had behind the bookcase. We were going to put the bookcase back (Isaac wanted it) but Kyle and I preferred the room without it.

Trim done, ready to paint
Early on, during demo we think the radiator pipe got accidentally stepped on causing it to push into the ceiling below in our front room which caused a crack, waiting til the room was mostly finished to repair it they came on January 31st to patch the crack and paint the ceiling
We were going to do all the painting ourselves but decided it'd be best to have professionals do all the trim and windows. They came on February 4th to get started with that.
February 5th
It was a pretty cold stretch outside and the room wouldn't heat up for the paint. It took extra coats because the cold was making the paint bubble. They did a great job, just took longer than we'd like.
Ready to paint the walls
February 11th
Painting done in one day
Electrician snuck in and got his work done.
We went to Houston February 14-18 and a lot got finished in that time, floor guys came to put final coat on and new radiator installed. Isaac was ready to move in!

Not super happy it was THAT small, was hoping it'd be the size of the pipe opening. But they did make a cover for it that I need to paint this summer when I can keep the windows open for ventilation. Realized I didn't have a photo of the cover so will go get that now.
Still to be painted, they were able to use the previous would to make a new cover!
New desk for Isaac and the rug we put down
He's slowing unpacking from boxes we had taken to the basement
You can also see the new shades I hung on the windows - black out.
April 25th
He's so glad to have his own room back.
He had a bunk bed, after setting it back up in his room he decided he didn't want the bunk bed... so we took it apart AGAIN and moved it to the girls room. The girls are using it and he's got one of their bed frames.
