The first area we started working on was the landscaping. Decided people might not notice the beast of a home if the outside was looking good.

The previous owner had some rather strange ideas when it came to gardening. They had planted blue spruces directly on the foundation and the greenhouse at the back of the property was apparently doubling as speak easy. No plants or seedlings to be found, just empty vodka bottles. Interesting.

Anyhoo, here are some before and after photos.

I actually forgot about this blog. Doing some cleaning up on my system and rediscovered it. I should probably update, cause stuff has been done to the house since my last post.

Our 5 year plan to renovate this beast of a home has now turned into a 5 month plan since we found out we are expecting a baby in May. I'm thinking the baby, along with us, would probably enjoy a functioning kitchen and bathroom. So its balls to wall for the next little while.
