  • We are finally putting in window trim and it absolutely transforms the look of my fixer upper house!! I hope you love it as much as I do!
    Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

      What a lovely, hard-working man, Jay is, and nothing seems to be too much trouble. Your house is looking absolutely lovely, and now that your bay windows are done, all I can see is your Christmas tree sparkling with lights. Well done to both of you. Love from Australia ❤

    I'm tearing up a bit seeing the new windows framed out and the finished walls in the bay. I remember you putting Christmas 'trees' up in that bay the last few years, even as rough as it was that first Christmas when it was trimmed branches stuck in a bucket! It's so wonderful to see your dream getting so much closer to being a reality! Just awesome. So happy for you and thankful for Jay and everyone else who has helped you on your journey. 🎉❤🎉

    Abby, the windows are beautiful. If you sand and stain the boards before Jay cuts them, you can do that outside. The mess will be out of your house. Plus sanding and staining long boards would be much easier. 😊
