Finally DONE!

I can't believe the last time I posted was July 27th.  I've been working on the house almost non-stop since then, everyday including weekends.  When I started this house I actually thought I could get it done in 6 months, but I was wrong.  Thirteen months later it's finally done!  But I have learned a lot doing this house and I expect that things will be better on the next one. 

Below are pictures of before and after.  At the bottom is a link to my Realtors website.  You can click on the "PhotoTour" link and see his pictures which are better than mine since he has a wide angle lens.




You can't see it well but there is a oak tree just to the right of this photo that was taken out.





The path runs right through the spot where that oak tree was.






That deck was really rotten.

 


Now there is a patio instead.





Those windows were in really bad shape so the whole bay window came off.

There used to be a window here, but it looked out to the garage so it had to go.

Family Room : I added these french doors; the door used to be on the left.

Bathroom: the tile was in worse shape than it looks, and every block in that window had a crack in it (it was only plastic)
