Pictures of the House

Here are the long awaited pictures of the House. We would have posted pictures earlier, but I (this is Kurt) have been working to fix all the junk that is wrong with the house so I have not even plugged my computer in until now. So I finally downloaded the pictures off the camera and will post them today.
Don't expect much text... its taken all the energy I have just to get the pictures on this blog.


Here is the Basement:










This is the sump-pit that I had to cap to try to reduce the amount of radon in our basement. Evidently, if you have too high of radon levels its like smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day. Frankly I think its a ploy to scare people into paying $900 for someone to cap your sump-pit for you. I did it for about $50 in parts.




Here is the 900 sq/ft crawl space: I have to figure out what to do with this waisted space. This was the one sad thing about the house. I have more crawl space then I have basement.


Here is the Living Room




Here is the Kitchen:



Here is the Family Room:


I made this book shelf with my bare hands... and then I messed up on it so I gave it to Megan... she painted it black and ignores my imperfections.

Here is Room for Alexis:

Here is the Room for Lauren:


I made this doll-house shelf as well. It was not that hard and I also made one for Heather and Alexis. It does cost $50 in bare materials, but considering they want $400 at Pottery Barn, I like my $50 doll-house.

Here is the Room for Heather:

Here is Kurt's Loft: (This is the last room to be finished thats why its a disaster zone)
And I made that book shelf with my bare hands... and a saw... and some screws... and stain and lacquer. I felt very "Happy" after I finished this book shelf... I am not sure if the unventilated basement full of lacquer had anything to do with it.



Here is the Master Suite:



Here is our Outside:


This is the garden that I transplanted from the old house to our new house. As you can see... it didn't quite make the transplant.



Here is a small man-made pond in our yard. I am not sure what strange creatures live in the pond, but I just keep hoping I will see Nessie (The Lockness Monster) poke his head out for a look at the new owners of this house.
