Meet the house

In July 2008, we moved into a house. What we loved about the house was primarily the potential it had and the location. The location was close to both sets of parents, in a nice area, and had good schools. Sold, friends. Right away we did massive amounts of work to beautify the house. It had been a rental for approximately 20 years, so it had been neglected. I wish I had taken a lot more pictures of the before, but trust me, it looked like it was stuck in the 1980's.

We have since removed the tree, planted lots of flowers, and made a walkway

The basement before

These photos were taken immediately after all the work was finished. It took about a month and then we moved in. We wanted to make it livable before actually living there. We figured all the other upgrades would be gradual throughout the years. Since then, we have done some work here or there, but nothing consistently expect for finishing the basement. 

Stay tuned for more progress......
