Hello from Metro Detroit

Post by pappster85 »

Greetings from Michigan. Early in 2015 I purchased my second home. A 1919 craftsman style single story home with a colorful remodeling past. After looking over the deeds with the county it seems someone had flipped the home in 1964 as they owned it only two months. In those months they did some really tasteless things. Covering windows? Removing the fireplace mantle and its respective built ins? Covering up the faux subway tile plaster work in the bathroom? You name it, they did it. Now I am here to undo it. I look forward to sharing my progress with all of you and reading about your own!

Hi, I remember your Craftsman, with all of the brick including tapered porch columns. Interesting and different.
