House Tour

Here is a tour of our house!  This is our first house and it is definitely a fixer-upper.  This is where you'll get to see all of the befores, afters, and the "progress" shots.  We have some grand plans for this place and we are excited to get started!

-The Attic-
Before:
Strange staircase that does not bring you all the way up to the attic, you have to heave yourself up or take a giant step after a certain point. 
Sorry for the blurry photo, but there's not much light up there.

-The Basement-
Before:
Scary stairs with a creepy crawlspace on either side.

Leaky water heater at bottom of steps

Well pump to the right of the water heater.

The Alien Overlord of the Basement otherwise known as the furnace (across from the water heater).

Area behind the furnace

Before:
Storage room off of the area behind the furnace.
Before:
Utility room to the right of the stairs. Has the sump pump, water softener, two electrical panels, and a strange looking thing that I have decided is an old laundry chute.

See this is why it took awhile, it's hard to actually see the back of the house.

We do not own that barn.
But we do own that cornfield which will soon be a baby forest!

  1. Thanks for adding the attic stairs and attic photos. The kind of attic to insulate, rather than use for storage? And the back of the house photo, too. You really give the feeling of being there with these photos!

  2. You're welcome, Aunt Sarah! All attics are supposed to be insulated to help keep the house either warm or cool, to my understanding. We will probably use it just for storage for awhile, but I have dreams of making it liveable space. We'll see what happens!
