Subject: pics of the new house!!! by patgizz on 2009/3/24 15:36:19 i didn't take these, so bear with the fact that they are not of the things a car guy would take pictures of, like the garage or the mechanicals. from the backyard:  the back corner - the sunroom area is getting converted to real living area with alside vinyl windows with low e glass and a new door. i'm doing the new door and window next to it tomorrow because i have them and when i have spare cash i'll order the rest of the windows.  the kitchen - screaming for a remodel but i'll put up with it for a couple years  the living room - 14x30 with a sweet fireplace  the blessed virgin to watch over the house while i'm gone  jake in the bathtub  and finally jake pulling old knob and tube wiring out of the walls  we've had the keys since wednesday. i've already ripped out the front entryway which was a cobbled mess of 3 small closets and a too narrow 30" front door. now it's an open entrance with a 36" fiberglass door and 1 large closet. my dad and i have put in a new main panel and rewired the entire house top to bottom. i've pulled/run over 600 feet of romex so far, just need to get a GFCI outlet into the bathroom and rewire the light/fan in there. it's a good solid old house, the old guy that owned it took great care of things before he passed away, and his wife passed in november. they raised 7 kids there, and we've met 2 of them who are very happy that we got the house. apparently they refused the first 2 offers not based on the $ but based on the people making the offer. i'll be taking garage pics soon, probably start moving things over there thursday. |
