current dwelling: work week 1

front views

You can barely see these floorplans, but if you would like a better perspective of the current floorplan and the future floorplan, just click on the pics.

Most of these pics were taken earlier this fall.

This is the back of the house; from where I was standing, if you were to turn around and walk through a wooden fence, you would be at the creek. It is very relaxing by the creek. Chad and I look forward to enjoying it.

This is our barn also; it is located across the street and sits on about 4/10ths of an acre.

This is another view.

Here are some outside shots; if we clear some trees out, we will have a nice view of Beech Mountain. This shot was taken a coupla weeks ago.

This is before we started tearing stuff up. This will be the living room at some point...guess what the first thing to go was?

yes, the acoustic tile ceiling, how'd you guess?

Next comes the wood paneling...

This is where things got weird...after pulling down the paneling (dont worry, it will be reused), we realized the walls were covered entirely of card board boxes, over which there was this "wall paper." This card board was from wall to wall to ceiling, as you can see!



we thought the cardboard had to have a purpose, but as we pulled it down, they were just reused boxes...I dont know maybe insulation??

Bedroom 1--new ceiling height

Bedroom 1 and 2; yes that is a toilet....

Doesn't this just make you want to go to the bathroom, and cozy up with your magazine?

The dreaded basement with those murals, along with what the previous owners like to call the kitchen; this will be a laundry area in the future.

This room is in the middle of the house. Eventually all the walls will be knocked out, and this room will be part of a large open room, consisting of the living, dining, and kitchen. The stairwell goes to the basement where the ceilings are 6'1. I guess I will be the only one down there!

The Pink Room...fortunately for us, this room included many souvenirs--some were functional, and others were, well dead.
