Rental House - Before Shots!

 When we started this process I was frankly too embarrassed to show the full "before" pictures.  I kind of chose projects here and there to show progress on because frankly it was a little overwhelming! (and I didn't need anyone else to tell us we were crazy, we already knew that!)

I remember being there the first day and thinking "we got this".  Until the we couldn't get the water on.  And then when the water got turned on the sink was leaking and the toilet wouldn't stop running!  
Our timeline quickly was out of our control.

The process was pretty steppy.  We had to do certain things before others.  The first thing we had to do was secure the house.  With the back mudroom windows being broken we conquered new windows and a wall.  

95% of the work that was done on the house was just Kris and I (and PK).  We had help with the electric.  He also had a friend from work help him with the kitchen counter tops and showed us how to tile.  We had to hire to have a new furnace put in.  Otherwise, we muscled through.  We did a lot of things we've never done before and watched a lot of You Tube videos for direction.





Mudroom - the storm windows were all broken

This is where we made a wall - it was all broken storm windows

Laundry room - the sink got ripped out and water heater replaced

Kitchen pantry

The only "appliance" that stayed was the cooktop

Bathroom


Hall closet - also where we got a peek at the hardwood floors under the carpet

Looking back into living room.

Bedroom

Living room; words can't even begin to describe how nasty the carpet was!!

Looking back towards PK's "office".  This was the last room to get remodeled and it was the ugliest!

Stay tuned tomorrow for the After Shots!
