Let me tell you a story about a man named Jed…
Yes, we bought a house from a man named Jed and now we are getting ready to tear the thing apart. As you can see the place isn’t exactly our dream home, but that is nothing a few hammers and prybars – along with the GDP of a small island nation – can’t fix.
Our basic goal with this renovation is to make the house floor plan more open and create a more logical flow. Currently the house is a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom house. Qualifying it as a third bathroom is a bit of a stretch and the half bathroom is a true example of a “water closet”. Not only will we be adding a full second bathroom and creating a full true second bedroom we will also be doubling the size of the kitchen and creating a mudroom that will have a full laundry and pantry to enhance the storage area. When everything is done the master bedroom will have it own dedicated master bathroom and a full walk in closet compared to the shared bathroom and next to zero closet space currently in the home.
With our plans in hand and our construction loan ready to go we are about to begin the demolition process. So, follow along with us over the next few months to see our progress as we attempt to transform truly an ugly duckling into a home we will actually be proud to own.
Here are some more pics of the new castle:
Next step: Demolition! And our motto for demolition is “When in doubt, rip it out!”
