We bought the property for location – everyone says you can always make changes to the house but you can’t change the location, right?  I’m not so sure that I would follow this advice if I got a do-over.  The house is UGLY!  I mean, seriously I don’t know what people were thinking in the 70’s.  Wood paneling, a strange floor plan and even a wet bar in the living room that’s 10 feet from the kitchen…really?!  I don’t get it.   I think I complained daily for the first year and several times I asked myself what the heck were we thinking.  But then I remind myself that its temporary and that when my kids get older they won’t care that we had an ugly house, they’ll just remember all of the amazing adventures we had.  (And we’d better have some good ones because I’m counting on this!)

I’ll post some “pre” pictures as soon as I can find my external hard drive where they’re all saved.
