definitely got some Italianate going on there...it's needs work
and I will assume you are under the age of 45 with plenty of
energy to turn into sweat equity...can't speak to the insurance
issue but I hope you don't have problems...i'm sure there'll be
a list of tasks they'll want you to tackle first...

here's to seeing more photos as the changes begin to take place!

Thanks a bunch! Although I haven't updated my blog in years {just been too busy} I've been meaning to update it with my projects of the last 2 years sometime soon.

Wooddhaven, welcome to the District. I see a lot of potential in your new home. It looks like a previous owner did care for the home. What is the story on the home?

Welcome, Woodhaven! That's a really beautiful house, and I wish you enjoyment. It is incredibly satisfying to bring a house back to life.

Jade, I'd way rather be working on my house than walking! Which is part of the problem...
