I took a ton of "before" pictures, so I think what I'll do is just post a few at a time....probably one room at a time, or one exterior view, with descriptions of what my plans are for that area. I fully realize this will likely be WAY too much info for most of you, so feel free to skip the cuts, but I'll probably be spending a good bit of the next couple of years working on this stuff, so you'll probably be hearing about it a lot...lol. Any of you design minded folks out there, PLEASE feel free to offer comments and suggestions.
Ladders are for the crew working on the roof. As you can see, the paint is peeling everywhere, some boards missing, window broken out. All this will be repaired quickly along with the roof, but the paint job will have to wait a while, until I do some shingle repair, and I'm thinking of putting an addition on the back.
View from just across the street. That huge pine right in front of the house is coming down, as well as a smaller one that's behind it, right up against the house. The two huge trees on the left will stay.
View straight on from across the street. Check out the huge Ponderosa pine on the right.
