Then and Now

The wonderful Sara mailed our tax credit application in February and shared pictures she took the day we bought the house. Since April 2013 we spent at least $275,000 on demo, electrical, plumbing, asbestos, flooring, termites, exterior rot and damage, plaster repair, chimney repointing, new window sashes, installing a single kitchen, and a replacement slate roof. We sold two houses and a vacant lot in order to make this happen. Then we got a mortgage. Deep Breath. The front of the house When you first walk into the house... The stairway and windows I saw and fell in love with.  The view from the stairs. Notice the clear NO TRESPASSING sign taped above the fancywork. The room where Jazz was born sometime in the late 1990s. This is now our dining room. From the other side of the dining room. This floor was shot from termite damage.   This is a little room off a little hallway that we currently use as storage for the vaccum. brooms,
