We foolishly bought this house in spring of 2007 and it has been out money pit ever since. Except in the movie The Money Pit, they had a huge crew of weirdo guys doing all the work. Here weirdos do the work, but that's just Me and Marc.
The house was built in 1922 and inhabited by the region's Coca-Cola rep. So that explains the unusual for the time paint scheme of red and white. It had a short string of owners, including the owner right before us who lived in the house with her 7 kids for +20 years. She graciously told us after we bought the house that she birthed two of the children right here in the house, which is cool, except that the house was filthy.
After 3 years of ownership, we've tackled the exterior repairs and paint job, the parlor, back porch, kitchen, dining room, 2 bedrooms and one bathroom. None of these are 100%, but close. Still to do are the living room, guest bedroom, new bathroom, back yard, and office.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned as we make progress!
