I'm Home!!

Here is the new house!!


After I got here, I spoke with the previous owner and the house has not been lived in for 8 years!!


The previous owner advised me that some kids had come through and shot a bunch of the windows up with a BB gun.





There is an old part of the house and a new part.  This is in the old part and the electrical will definitely need to be updated!!



Everything is just nasty!!  I did not dare take pictures of the toilet!!  Yukko!!












This sky light could be very cool once I get it cleaned up and get item enclosed.  It is right over the kitchen sink!!




I am just glad someone has not been living in this house in the shape it is in!!  Stay tuned!!

  5. Hi Kris, I've been reading along with Lavender Quilts and really have been enjoying the Saturday's smile! Now you're here as well! Thought I'd finally leave a comment!
    What's great about this place it that you don't have to worry about ripping out someone's renovations to make it your own! And you definately see what you get!
    Oregon! Have fun at the ocean!
    Looking forward to seeing how this rough rock turns into your own diamond!
    take care,
