Not a dog post.

So Brad has commented that I'm posting a lot about our dogs... Hehe... oops. I forgot this was supposed to be our home renovation blog. :)

So here's some super awesome stuff about our ongoing renovation!!

Right now, I'm working on finishing our drawings. We initially planned on doing a lot of the work over time, but now we're considering bidding the whole project out to knock it out in one fell swoop. We'll see just how much doing it all at once will cost us before we make that final decision... For all who are curious just what our plans are:

Plans in AutoCAD.

Interior Elevations in AutoCAD.

Ha. Okay. So you can't quite tell just what's going on from the screenshots. Basically, right now we have one 'finished' bedroom in the attic and the rest is raw space. We plan to add a bathroom and master bedroom, as well as fully updating the rest of the house. This may be better... Click the images to see 'em larger.

So, what do you think?

I betcha wanna see more...

Freakin' awesome pink paint and carpet. Only a few hours after closing that carpet was out of there. The floors beneath aren't as great as we'd hoped, but we'll address that issue later.

The house was built in 1879 (I think) but appears to have been 'gut-rehabbed' in the '50s. The cabinets rock. So does that stove. I dunno... we'll see what happens with this. Definitely some new paint and flooring. Probably new counter tops and fridge. Maybe an island... with a dishwasher.

The bathroom is all kinds of ugly.

Front stairs. Don't know what we'll do with these yet, either. Definitely needs new flooring... not that gross fake wood vinyl. The plaster walls are in excellent condition everywhere in the house, except here. They're cracked and crumbly. We'll see.

MORE LATER!
