Part 2 Every wall was stripped clean of drywall and insulation so we could look at the structure itself to make sure it was structurally solid in which it was to my surprise 😮 so like I said we started replacing everything in the rear master restroom is where we started and we learned real quick with that restroom, what was and wasn't going to work Ultimately!!!!! The walls were restuffed with house insulation then that was covered with a thin roofing paper and tyvex over that so there would be a v***r barrier and it worked out amazingly well we then covered every exterior wall with wood ship lap as you'll see through out the rest of this MONSTER mission and you talk about making it COOL in the SUMMER AND KEEPING IT WARM in the Winter!!! IT worked out GREATso after discovery this we moved forward we were able to find almost everything thing that we needed at a small store called Dirt Cheap which had a hardware section and what they would get is damaged items from Lowe's and Home depot but come to find out because I became friends with the manager real quick and discovered that even if a box had a hole in the box it would be purchased and went to Dirt Cheap all of the insulation, Ship lap, electric outlets plugs switches, electrical boxes,lighting fixtures, ceiling fans,sinks,mirrors and 99% of what you see is from there except for the flooring which was purchased directly from Home Depot on a close out item. Then this is where Uncle Al and aunt Wanda come in because we were staying with them at there house which was down the road about 8 or 9 miles away from our property... Gotta Love Uncle Al and aunt Wanda for everything that they've done for us because the journey is not over because we're going back and forth to California moving all of our stuff across the United States at the same time. In comes my cousin Andy because after we sell our house we are stay with him while we're in California. I'm going to stop here so there will be a part 3
