"BEFORE" pictures

OK...I know we are all eager to see "before and after". But obviously we only have "before" pictures at this point. So here we go. As you can see from the exterior shot, it's not too bad from the outside...





But the inside!
I think that this bathroom picture has the biggest impact of all - to show the degree to which the house has been unattended.














The kitchen is also very chic, especially with the water heater right there where you want it. Note that the big cast iron pipe peeking out from the back wall is the same one that is painted green in the bathroom picture.





















In case you were wondering, there is a basement. It was used primarily for coal storage. 6' 6" from dirt to bottom of joist.







This living room picture is also very telling....the sign of water damage on the ceiling, the old radiator at a rakish angle...and probably the original windows behind those shades. Yes, plenty of work to be done.
