The newly painted hall viewed from the kitchen.
The house is substantially renovated since my purchase in November 2011:
- A second bathroom was added
- Completely new kitchen from the floors to the ceiling and everything in between
- Approx. 80% rewired
- 100% replumbed
- New laundry room
- New roofing on the one section that was the most dated (the rest of the roof is in good shape)
- Big start on landscaping (which like the rest of the house had been completely neglected)
- Fully repainted inside
- New floors throughout
- Original bathroom 90% redone
- Insulation added to every wall that was touched, over 50% of walls have heavy duty insulation now, versus none previously
- The other walls are double-thick adobe brick which is well insulated by itself (unlike traditional brick)
- And seemingly hundreds of other details
Next project . . . well there are many more things I want to do including expand into the second floor which has been shut for 100+ years--when the owner's at the time stopped using it, took out the stairs, and made it into an attic. Currently the second floor is only accessible via a ladder. There are about 900 square feet and high ceilings up there.
But the primary goal now is to spend very little money on home improvements for the rest of 2013.
