My wife and I bought this house in june of '08 and we have been working on it ever since.

Some back story on the house:
The foundation was poured in '97 house finished in '99. The people that built it were an elderly couple. The man died in 04, his wife in 06. They left the house to their 4 kids who were already grown and had their own mortgages/families so they turned it into a rental property. The renters put holes in the walls, stained the carpet, did what renters do, etc... and cut the home value WAAAAAAY down. The house in 06 was appraised at over $300K, we bought it this summer for $163,000. The house is near a small airport used for crop sprayers and personal plains so the noise isn't really an issure. The skydiving place is also based out of this airport, it's surprisingly relaxing sitting on the deck after work watching skydivers all night in the summer.

The square footage of the house is 2055 sq ft upstairs, 1577 sq ft on the main level, approx 1600 sq ft in the basement, and 600 sq ft garage. The house sits on 1.25 acres just a few minutes out of town. 4 bedroom, 2 full bath, 2 half bath.

On with the pics, most of these pics were taken right after we bought the house, I will just add the updated pics in at the bottom.

Future plans for the basement
Attachment 11277
Attachment 11278

Future plans for the whole house include remodeling damn near every room in the house one at a time.

As far as outside goes, I'm going to put a walkway from the front steps to the driveway next summer, put up new gutters next summer, plant trees every 4-5 feet on the property line around the sides and back of the house, rip down the deck and rebuild it attached to the house at the proper height (instead of a foot below the door), mulch landscaping around the whole house, apple tree in the yard....TONS OF PLANS...

current project: operation get rid of the ugly outdoor railings...

This started as lets get rid of the rail on the balcony and just put up a wall at the same height to "I want built-ins" and god knows a happy wife is a happy life so it now also has built-ins. I still have to tape/mud/texture/paint. It will have bullnose edges all around. But here is how she sits after a day of work. I probably won't be able to finish it until next week since I don't have another day off until then.

Before:
