Girl, it has no foundation! Save the best bits for reuse, and start from scatch.

Oh the Shanty, how I missed the original remodel. First, I love that turquoise color. If you do tear it down you could make those boards and make them into a board with coat hangers on them (did that make sense) and that back door is begging to be a large 6 frame picture frame painted a lovely color. But, let’s focus on the current Shanty. How are you hanging in. When I do my dished at my lovely sink, I think of you.

There really is something magical about cousin sleepovers at grandma’s 🙂 I’ve never done anything more than paint a wall, but I can’t imagine what a sense of accomplishment it has to be to completely redo a house! Go for it 🙂

If you could live somewhere else during renovations, it could be managed a second time. I know from experience that it is cheaper to build from scratch if for no other reason than your time invested. Good luck with all you dreams, and just keep working, working, working! 🙂
