The front of the house- didn't change much as most was done during the winter
Well, our big project has come to an end. Well, kind-of. The intense work is over, but we are guaranteed to still have the maintenance that comes with a rental. We bought this home at the beginning of November with the intent to remodel and either sell or rent to make an investment. It wasn't the best timing, as Aaron was in school so he had less time to work on it. We had hoped to get one in the summer when he could spent whole days over there and get it done quicker, but it just didn't work out. Plus, it was during the winter and right during the holidays. Our goal was to be done by Christmas, but as it turned out we weren't and spent some of our Christmas break working. We also devoted "date nights" (Aaron and I working while the kids had a babysitter) to it, and weekends. It was pretty trashed when we got it, so it was a LOT of work, but I think it was worth it. We had to rip out carpets and water-damaged flooring, cabinets, toilets and tub, scrape and scrub the nasty floors, then seal them. We re-painted, tiled, put in new plumbing and electrical, new shower, tub, and toilets, cabinets and carpet. We both put a lot of time in there and Aaron and I (and the kids!) were glad when it was done. We finally locked the door and walked away the 3rd week of January and that was a nice feeling. By then we had a renter, and so far things are going okay. I am just really proud of our work now that we are done and wanted to show a few before and after pictures.
