A Fixer Upper



We are so excited our son and his wife have finally moved into their new home after a 3 1/2 month rehab. Here are the before and after pictures. They bought a house that was For Sale By Owner. They got it at a good price but had to do a lot of work. Something only for the young!





Before picture of the house after many trees were taken down close to the house.

After the new roof and siding- winter's coming...


A peaceful picture in the snow. New siding and roof done, now time for the inside!


Because of leaks and mold issues, the dry wall and floors of the whole house had to be gutted and the house was treated for mold. Before they started, the trash in the house and carpets had to be removed as well. All their friend's that helped them are saints!

The kitchen before the remodel. Looking into the family room.
The same view after the brick was taken away and redone.

  2. Thanks so much for sharing the house moving story -what soap can do! And you're a friend of Gidget -I love that picture with her and the board, so inspiring.

    This is a neat cottage. Ours was a complete redo as well (we're not so young, ha!), and I lived in the house while new plumbing and bathroom was installed -big mistake!

    Have a great day.
