The 'Before' Pictures



View of house from the dirt road. Weeds are nearly 5 feet high, hiding the well pit under the window and the wood pile. The second bedroom is the shed looking part stuck onto the house at a right angle.



View from the front door, living room on right. The doorway for the bedroom is partially visible to the right of the kitchen counter.



Living room to right of front door, front window is on the right side of the picture and side window is straight ahead.



Tiny bedroom, only big enough for a twin bed and dresser or a queen bed and nightstand.



Kitchen as seen from the rear doorway, the laundry alcove is behind and to the right, the bathroom door is to the left, just before the stove.



Looking left, after walking through the kichen. Laundry alcove on left and 2nd bedroom straight ahead. The exterior of the 2nd bedroom can be seen sticking out from the house at a right angle, just in front of the truck parked in what passes for a driveway in the first picture.



Bathroom with shower in left corner, water heater in right corner and toilet to the right of the doorway. No sink. The white bit in the lower right side is the corner of the stove.

The Beginning

First post, 7 pictures of the house before work starts will be posted as soon as I figure out how. I hope to chronicle the work on this small vacation house on a dirt road outside of the city limits. Lets see if we can stay in the budget of $1,000 USD for the entire house makeover.
