Welcome To The Pinecone House

I moved into this house shortly after moving home to Windsor, a few months after living in it It was very apparent that it needed some TLC. This had been a rental home and dads cash cow for over 40 years and it showed. Some of the  plumbing had been disassembled under the house leading to mousture buildup inviting bugs and other pests to make home in its foundations. The leaking bathtub caused damage to the floor joists underneath the bathroom and spanning into the kitchen, termites had infested all over and the floors were giving in. The living room was extremely dark and I thought it would benefit from a more open concept. In July of 2021 we took this classic plaster wire lath house built in 1935 down to the foundation, well some of it. We took out some walls added some heavy beams, created a island in the kitchen where the wall had been, updated the appliances and added a dishwasher, installed resilient flooring in kitchen and hallway, installed a ductless ac/heating system, rewired a good portion of the home and upgraded a new electric panel, created a screened in utility room, a covered back porch, renovated a bathroom and more. It was not a job for the faint of heart, I had to "let go" several differnet subcontractors after they complained that nothing was square (duh). Unfortunatly nothing was easy in this house and just to add to the complications...I became pregnant with twins halfway thru. I was under the gun to get this house finished before these babies arrived. With the help of some friends and fellow carpenters my endurance paid off and the house was completed in August/September of 2022. It is my proudest accomplishment and I am happy to now have all that hardwork apprecitaed and the house loved by two sweet newlyweds who now call it home.
