FB MARKETPLACE DEALS AND HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

I got 2 bathroom faucets off Marketplace for $100 each.  They were originally $330 each and they are so beautiful.  Solid brass.  Then we headed over to Habitat and I found a kitchen faucet and some wooden heat grate covers.  Made a stop at Harbor Freight for some miscellaneous stuff. Ended the day picking up some wood window and glass out in Burien off marketplace.  We got 5 windows that we are hoping to put in the porch as fixed windows.  The guy had a bunch of wood windows from years of saving them when he would replace windows in people's houses.  He is going to take the rest to the dump if he can't sell them and I hate hearing that.  I am hoping that he lets me know when he gets ready to take them to the dump because I am just crazy enough to go out there and take them.  

I took pictures of the house off the listing because I really haven't taken a lot of pictures.  Especially pictures of the inside of the house.  





Upstairs hall looking into Wren's room
The porch that had the washer and dryer.
This is going to be my studio.  It is an upstairs bedroom.
Upstairs bathroom.
Wren's room
Our bedroom upstairs. 
The pantry? off the kitchen.
Kitchen looking into living room. 
Kitchen looking towards back yard. Yes there were 2 fridges in there. 
Inside of the downstairs bathroom.  This one is going away.  Far, far away. 
Kitchen.  Chad tore out the lower  cabinets in the kitchen and some of the floor this weekend. 
Living and dining room.  Chad also got that wood stove going this weekend.  We are debating what to do about the wood stove.  We may put some kind of stove there.  Just not sure yet. 
Dining room looking into the living room. 
We discovered last weekend that the concrete pad that the stove is sitting on is sitting on carpet underneath so the wood floors should be in good shape under there hopefully.
The downstairs bedroom that will be our master when we are too old to climb the stairs. 
Looking at the closet in the downstairs bedroom.  Somehow we have to get a bathroom in here.
Looking in the front door.  
Side of the house with that hideous bathroom. The walls in that bathroom look like shiplap.  I took out the toilet roll holder and you can see shiplap inside the walls.  This house is build strong.  Like bull. 
The garage which is going to be our wood shop.  I will call him Woody.  Chad thinks I could park my Prius in there and still have a lot of room.  We will see. 
Backyard.
That door on the right opens up to the stairs.  We are thinking of closing that off.  The door does not open all the way because it bumps into the stairs. 


The front deck with bead board ceiling.  We will need to paint this blue.  I guess in the south they paint porch ceilings blue to ward off evil spirits. 
That upstairs window is my studio and the downstairs window is the kitchen.  The door on the left is the porch that had the washer and dryer. 


This is the cute garage with the side door.

TIME TO CATCH UP ON THE HOUSE BLOG This is my studio.  Sage did the huge job of removing the paneling and the drywall from this room.  I am now pealing off the wallpaper and then steaming off the cardboard type paper backing.  I prop up the wallpaper steam in a spot with a trim board and continue peeling the wallpaper in another area.  After one song has played I remove the steamer and scrap off the paper.  Comes off pretty easy after 5 minutes of steaming.  It is just time consuming.  As you can see I have the doors pilled up in there.  I am going to keep the doors white but I plan on sanding them a bit and repainting them.  Some of the doors have deep dog scratches in them.  These doors are so heavy.  Beautiful beautiful doors.  I love them.  What the wall looks like after I have steamed some of the paper off.  It is stunning.  It has been a dream of mine to live in a log house.  This is darn close to livi...

 WE HAVE SHIPLAP AND WOOD FLOOR IN THE KITCHEN October 6, 2024 This weekend I feel like we got a lot done.  There is still so much to do but at least the house is starting to smell a bit better, until you go upstairs.  The renter that lived there locked their dogs upstairs and it smells so bad up there.  We got there on Saturday morning and of course I started on the yard.  Chad had come up on Saturday and took a bunch of logs and yard waste to the dump.  I was just raking up some of the debris to try and fill the yard waste bin since we have to pay for garbage we try and fill it.  Still finding small bits of trash in the yard.  Chad bought a magnet roller thing so I rolled it around the yard to pick up some metal.  The truck was full so we did a quick run to dump so we could fill it up again.  While we were at the dump some guy that the floor guy gave our number to gave us a call about leveling the house.  He sounded like he wanted...

 Thursday, July 18,2024 Looking Around Outside The House We still do not have possession of the house so we just took some exterior photos.  I hadn't taken any photos when we looked at the house because I wasn't sure if the deal would go through.  Obviously this is the front of the house that faces the street.  Our initial plan is to get the house leveled.  It is post and beam foundation and when we looked at the house you could feel some sagging in the kitchen area.  So we need to get some estimates on getting that done because that is beyond our skill level.  During this visit we came up with the crazy idea of refinishing the old windows.  After further research last night it sounds like it will take some work but it also sounds like the best thing to do.  These old windows are built to last with some maintenance.  The upstairs windows are not new so we will have to come up with a plan for those.   I am also thinking of painting t...
