Laundry area re-think







Kitchen cabinets before and after a scrub..

Man, these were dirty.  
Pay no attention <please> to the counter tops.  
They will be replaced with something much more easy to maintain. Cracked and broken tile is not very sanitary in any kitchen setting.  

Before
Next to the stove.  GROSS!

  After
After.  Soooo much cleaner and Kathy friendly 

Bathroom sink before and after a scrub.

It just amazes me what a little elbow grease and some simple green will do for a dirty bathroom sink.  I mighta thought that faucet was done for.  After 15 minutes, it looked fresh and almost new.
 

 
 










The other side of that tiny bridge is another world..

 
 
We have a little bridge to the mailbox.
How small-town country is that?




The attic











Look how much room is in the center!
He is a 6ft'r

New plan, old house

Ban the multi unit idea.
It is now a single family home.  A LARGE single family home. 
Most of the rooms in this house are 16x16, and many are bigger. 

Included is the current floor plan.
Sorry, its an iphone picture and I am no architect. 
Please practice your chickenscratchreading before proceeding any further.  ;)

The main floor as it is today



The second floor, as it is today

2nd day


So, mostly these are pictures I had forgotten to take the first day.  This time the place was cleaned out.  Lots of crazy little things about this place that tickle me.  In this room below, the dining room... all the light switch covers and electric socket covers are black with skulls that glow in the dark. 
In the living room.  LMAO!

Apparently I had posted a cool picture with a built-in washer and dryer, set on a pedestal, on my facebook page.  Well, Kyle loved it so much he decided to build one here.  It was almost finished.   
Gooooood try, Kyle!
Im gonna tear it down and install some matching kitchen cabinets above it.  ;)

Another cool thing here...  that chandelier, below, was in my store. 
That was two years ago, at least!
 I had just met Kyle, and knew he was rebuilding a house. 
I think I gave him a deal or maybe we traded something.  
No matter, its cool he left it for me.  Thank you, Kyle!
I love it in the foyer, and it shall stay.
