The Loftis House gets a facelift

The Loftis House gets a facelift...Ben and Elsa Loftis purchased this lovely old Portland home in July of 2010--exactly 100 years after it was constructed. It is a beautiful old house, owned previously by the same family for over 50 years. It's in need of some updating, and so with rolled up sleeves, a great deal of optimism and help from family and friends...Ben and Elsa take on a very huge renovation project.

Spring!

Hello friends, family and well-wishers! I will spend less time writing this time, and just let you enjoy some photos. Regrets for the long length between posts again, but as ever:
 busy working means not busy blogging!
The trash pile in the yard is no more! HUGE cause for celebration.

The very same weekend, Ben's buddy from work, Orlando, came over to help us sand down the floors in two of the upstair bedrooms.

Much better! Ready for Elsa to treat.

Yes, worked out lovely


Ready for the close up--still have yet to finish the electrical in this room, but oh well.

Chaos still lurks down the hall though...

The upstair bathroom-to-be begins to look better, thanks to the backerboard on the floor and the trim back on the window
Ben's new project is stripping the bench in the entryway.

Elsa's new project is tiling the bathroom...

Not a total disaster thus far...

Our new construction worker, the cat that we're cat-sitting for the next few months, Robot.

Well, that's the gist of things as it stands now! Just wanted to post a few more pictures for you all! Hope you've enjoyed, and certainly hope there's more good stuff to share soon.
--Elsa
