Our House
Our Renovations
This is where we brag about our house renovations and improvements.
We bought this house in 2000 for $157,000, yes you read that right! Since then we have renovated three times.
I creeated this page in 2018.
The first renovation was fairly cheap and straightforward we removed the carpet, sanded and polished the floorboards, stripped and painted the walls, it would to take us a year or two to paint and fix the exterior of the building.
The next renovation was to strip out the bathroom and repaint the interior of the house.
The most recent changes was a major 6 month remodel of the house adding a 4th bedroom, 2nd bathroom, study and new kitchen/living areas as well as a deck. The most exciting part for me was the shed being reclad which meant my darkroom was all wired and plumbed and running as it should.
