This Old House

So we did get our house last month. Friday, Jan 8th to be exact. We didn't realize how much of a fixer this place really was. The house is old - wood paneling, rock walls, 2-prong outlets, carpet everywhere including the bathrooms, small doorways, and the list goes on.

My favorites...lol
The cave that was our entryway...

a master vanity with 20+ square gold and black filigree mirrors...


Some other fun aspects of the house:

Wood paneling









A 40 year old kitchen









and our living room










We planned on doing a little work on the place - knock down a wall, new floors, paint, scrape ceilings. Much more demo happened than one wall. I'll post some pictures of all the demo. The list of renovations grew - new electrical, new kitchen (complete gutting of and reconfiguration), insulating the entire house, new drywall, raising a celing, expanding the master bedroom, knocking down more walls, along with any problems (like leaks from the rain) along the way.
