Backyard - House #1

Before

There is actually a small pond under that piece of plywood.

Oh the fun of cactus and banana trees. Kind of hard to make out but that is what the whole mess. There is actually a small tree in there on the left but we didn't know that untill the cactus was torn out.

During

Oh, did I forget to mention how much I hate banana tree!!!!!! They won't DIE.

Again, I clear out all of the banana trees and another one pops up. If you don't have a green thumb buy lots of banana trees.

Just about finished....Just waiting for the sod and the mulch for the flower beds.

Master Closet - House #1

Before

I felt that the closet had a lot of wasted space. So I desided to copy my father's closet and double up one side. Plus ofcourse I had to replace the carpet and paint.

Master Bathroom - House #1

Before

The master bath really didn't stand out but if you can believe it, the size is way above normal for the area. So I felt I needed to do something nice to make it stand out.

During

I gutted the whole bath except for the cabinets. They were still in pretty good shape and just needed new doors. I expended the shower about 300%. Trust me...I don't think the old shower was big enough. I felt like I was in a coffin.

Master Bedroom - House #1

Before

During

What a mess!! Everytime some sees the picture of the carpet they ask me if someone was killed in there. ........... and the answer is.......not that I know.

Middle Bedroom - House #1

Before

When we first started working on the house, we would bring Rylie with us. For some reason he loved this room. Anytime we couldn't find him he was curled up in this room.

Guest Bathroom - House #1

Before

Pretty simple remodel here. Just paint, resurface the tile, and new cabinet door, and new window. Thats about it.

Front Bedroom - House #1

Before

The bedroom sure was pretty. If you turned off the light it would glow with the stickers they put on the ceiling.

Kitchen - House #1

Before

My plan was to replace the counter tops, remove the cabinets above the stove (well the hole for the stove, ha ha), new sink, new oven, new appliances, tile the back splash, new cabinet doors, can lighting....etc (sorry it is just too much to list, just have to scroll down to see what was replaced)

During

The fun of demo. After getting into the project, we realized that the cabinets that had the sink were all rotted and had to be replace and the plumbing in the wall was cracked. Boy was that a fun project. Plumbing has to be the most frustrating project out there. I swear I went to Homedepot and plumbing supply stores 10 times before that was finished.

Just about finished. Cabinet have molding and lights on the bottom, new counter tops, and the back splash is finished. The spot for the oven had to be widened because the new models don't come in that small size anymore. Plus I couldn't find a place to put the microwave so I ended up taking out a drawer under the oven to make a little shelf.

Family Room - House #1

Before

The family room, from the pictures it doesn't need much work but who really likes track light......really come on.....track lighting looks bad.

During

As you can see, the hanging cabinet from the ceiling had to go. It really opened up the family room to the kitchen with just that little amount of work.

This is just about finished. Can lighting is in, granite counters in, new windows in, and the freshly painted cabinet doors are drying. (To bad the painter did a horrible job painting them so we had to repaint them again later)

Dining Room - House #1

Before

This is the start of the dinning room. By far the least amount of work. Just replacing the window and baseboards. That's it!!! Well there was some rotted wood in the window sill so that was also replaced.

Front Yard - House #1

Before

As you can see the house doesn't appear to need that much work on the outside........... but the inside is a different story. Let the adventure begin!

During

This is just about finished. The windows and front door have been replace. Landscaping has been removed and the new plants have been planted except for the Japanese Maple that will be going in soon.
