The House

We bought our house right before the wedding. We knew it would need A LOT of work. It was a bank owned home, and the previous owners (obviously told by the condition of the house) didn't really care much about this place. They smoked inside, their animals soiled the carpets. Things were not updated at ALL. We were very fortunate to get a GREAT deal on the house, and to have wonderful families members who gave gifts of money and gift cards and labor to help us get the house to this point.

Our house was built in 1976 (Kla Ha Ya Village is the neighborhood name) and it is a 4 bedroom, 1.5 bath, split level. We're lucky to have found this gem (in the rough), we back up to woods/greenbelt and have a huge yard!!!

Besides having to paint every square inch of surface in the house (due to the smoker smell) the projects we've completed thus far are:

1. Upstairs Bathroom - completely gutted everything. We had to remove the sheetrock and insulation and start over at the studs. We put in a new window, new tub, all new tile (above the tub to the ceiling), new cabinets, new counter top, new toilet and new floor!


2.Kitchen - painted all cabinets, new counter tops, new cabinet hardware, new flooring, new sink and faucet... everything else DEEP Cleaned!

AFTER

3.Flooring - the carpet was VERY nasty in the living room and the linoleum in the kitchen/dining was ghetto, so we replaced everything (even the hallway) with maple pergo. (and we got a new couch!)


The upcoming projects include (yes we're going to be VERY busy):
1. New chain-link fence around the backyard
2. New carpet downstairs
3. Pergo installed at the landing
4. New roof
5. finish installation of all the baseboard trim and door trim.
