We have spent tireless hours in the last two years doing everything we can to not only make this house our home, but also to try to revive it to the glory it held as a new house in the early 1930's. We've gone through just about every room in the house and much of the outside, covering everything from painting to exterior finishes, and little by little it's all coming together. Our largest task of all has been turning our empty unfinished basement into a third bedroom and second bathroom! This project started last June with cutting in the egress window for the bedroom, and now we have finally reached the sheet rock stage, which means we can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Now that we're this far along every time I get tired or sore and start to think about wether or not we made the right decision, all I have to do is ask this old house what it thinks, I can almost hear it say thank you, thank you for making me feel young again! The closer we get to making this house all that it can be the more I have to remind myself that all the hard work we are putting into it will not go to waste, that not just our family but many others down the road may live in her and love on her in the same maner that we have! Someday a I just wish my progress would move as quickly as the shows progress, if only I could figure out how to take a commercial break in life:)
Remember, houses are just like people, they will not make it without a little love!:)
