Before Pictures Of The House........Part 1

As promised I thought I would post some pics of the house,so you could have a look at the house before things get started.  This first pic is of a front view of the house that I took from the street.Note the really bad siding and light fixture which will both be changed.

As you can see with this picture we will be in need of a new roof.Now this roof was put on about 15 years ago or so and as you can tell has not really held up that well. It will be nice to see a new roof on here.    

Here again is another picture of the roof.I think this one was taken from the back and as you can see it looks no better than the front.Ok it might not look as bad as the front,but really when your roof looks like that its bad no matter what angle.

This next picture is a shot of my son's room with a touch of the garage and the top of the bin showing. My son's room will be turning into a office/computer room.Since I don't work at home I guess I can't call it an office so we will say computer room.

Moving on down the house we have a picture of the side of the house with the garage door opening and the breezeway opening, which would then lead you to the second door of our house that leads into the little tiny entrance in our house.When I say tiny,I mean tiny.In the winter and even now with our coats hanging on the coat hanger in the entrance you cannot open the door all the way.Kind of a pain in the ass when you are carrying groceries in or something like that. The breezeway which you can kind of see will be part of our new BIGGER entrance,this will defiantly be nice. That door leaning against the house was on the side of the garage.

So this is where that door I mentioned in the picture above went.Before we moved into the house, the house was rented out to some people and they decided they needed a door on the side of the garage.That's where they put it.As you can tell the wood on the garage has seen better days.

Here is another picture of the garage.When the siding was taken off there were thousands of big carpenter ants all over.Aparantly they had been nesting there and built an ant continent.Of course some of these ants made their way into the house on numerous occasions.I found myself killing at least one a day and I have noticed since the ant continent was destroyed we have not seen one in the house yet. Hopefully I didn't just jinx that!



I hope you enjoyed the pictures,I do have more to come of course,but for now I think we have all had enough!
