LETS GUT IT!

Ok. Got the craft show info out of the way. Now back to the journey that made a house into our home. You saw the pictures of what we saw when we looked at this house. It was so funny, our realtor said, "I wouldn't buy this house". The whole time I was looking at her, I was thinking, "we could save her!" I would walk through the house and list everything it needed and my husband would say "Yep, I can do that, and that, AND that!"
We left that house and went to look at three or four other properties. They were so plain!  Not "us" that's for sure! All the way home all we could talk about was "the" house. We talked about the beautiful land it sits on! It's covered in big, old, oak trees! There's ten acres! The front of the house is covered in our favorite material for a home- ROCK! We were sooooo excited about that! We decided to make an offer! I couldn't sleep that night thinking how I would decorate her and place each and every piece of furniture we own! Lol!
Well for a month and a half we jumped through lots of hoops! It was a Fannie Mae foreclosure mind you. You know, LOTS of red tape. Oh well! It was worth it! She became ours officially in June.
We started gutting her the very day we closed! We ripped out all the sheet rock from floor up to four feet. And almost all the interior studs. They were rotted out! Ripped out both bathrooms,the kitchen, ALL the plumbing, wiring, and all the light fixtures!
Here we go! No turning back now!!
