It's gonna look a lot worse before it looks better...
So I was somewhat amused yesterday when I uploaded the images of the current status of the house, and compared them with the pictures from before the start of the work. By comparison, the house looked pretty darn good! But, alas, the pictures neglect to show a lot of the flaws. The bad trim work, the ugly carpet and tile underneath, the ugly, stippled ceiling, and especially those things which cannot be photographed at all, such as the bad drafts. So, though it may not look like it at the moment, things actually are getting better...It's just an UGLY process!!
(The pictures at left are of the back bedroom, where the bulk of my work is focused right now. I'm hoping to clean and repair the brick wall this weekend.)
Having encountered some interesting things in this renovation recently, coupled with always having people ask me how the renovation is going, I decided to start this blog about my renovation. A renovation diary, if you will, chronicling my adventures in home remodeling.
Oh yes, did I mention that I'm doing most of this work myself and living in the house while I'm working on it? Yeah, this is going to be fun!
