Fix it up, baby, fix it up!
House Index
| The front of the house, from across the street. You can clearly see the rusty gutters, the nasty front door awning, the collapsing roof, and the dirty window coverings. |
| From down the street. It's the stucco house. |
| Welcome to the house. The pink wall hiding the toilet remains. That gets taken out first. |
| The wall is gone. Nice toilet at the bottom of the steps. |
| Looking back towards the front door. Nice seal there on the doorjam |
| The living room. |
| Heater grate in the entrance to the living room. I will probably take this and make a table out of it. This doorway will be closed off - main entry will be through the kitchen. |
| The cupboard in the corner. I will be keeping this. (it will be refinished and repaired) |
| Overview of the kitchen. The stove is a coal/wood burning model. |
| View out of the kitchen into the hallway - pre wall demolition. Riley can't believe I actually bought this thing to live in. |
| View towards the back door. What a lovely mismatched wallpaper border. Nice lamp, too. |
| Close-up of that lamp. I won't be keeping that thing. |
| Down the stairs. Don't fall into the toilet on your way down. |
| Up the stairs. Ascending to heaven. (or the second floor, in this case) |
| The upstairs hallway. I've already begun to chip at the wallpaper. At the end is the master bedroom at the front of the house. That doorway to the right is the current bathroom. Off camera, directly to the right is the second bedroom. |
| The back bedroom, looking back out at the top of the stairs. This will be turned into the bathroom. |
| Looking into the back bedroom from the top of the stairs. Squint your eyes enough and you can already see the bathroom layout. |
| Through the back window, nice view of the back yard. |
| Ugh. |
| Typical of the second floor, this is how the wiring was done for the ceiling on the first floor. This is in the master bedroom. |
| A wide shot back towards the door of the master bedroom. A little bit of hand painting on the wall. Let's not move furniture to paint behind the door. At least, as you can see, the sun comes in nicely off the front of the house. |
| Welcome to the attic. |
| Stairs to the attic. Not a railing in sight. |
| This storage closet is pretty classy. |
| Back towards the attic stairs. That railing looks awful safe. |
| Back corner of the attic. This room has COMFORT written all over it. |
| Front attic room, looking out the west side. |
| Above the ladder is the roof-space access. |
