This Old House
So since there are two major projects in my life right now my son and the foreclosure my husband and I recently acquired I figured I’d start with the easier of the two … 🙂
This 1950’s ranch was abandoned a couple of years ago the problems with the house are listed below:
1. No Heating System
2. Blown out pipes
3. Bad Roof
4. Old as dirt windows
5. Siding from the 1950’s
6. Garage door that is so large and heavy my husband can lift if with two hands
7. More bees nests than Winnie the Pooh’s backyard
8. Outdated bathroom
9. Outdated kitchen
10. Strangest paint colors that could have possibly been chosen by previous owner
I have included some pictures of the house as it stood when we purchased it 11 days ago.
Currently we are working on or rather paying other people obscene amounts of money to work on the heating system and central ac (my husband’s idea YAY). And knock down some walls to open the floor plan up a bit.
I’ve also got to choose paint colors here pretty soon, I’ll be painting w/ samples today and with any luck the ordered windows will be here in a couple weeks and work on the outside of the house can begin.
I”ll be posting along the way of how we are doing and issues that arise because with a project this big something will of course go wrong at some point
