Before: The Small Things

Once our bid was accepted we went back into the house and that's when the noticing started...

 We noticed, while that second bathroom is cute, it's really really small.  What is this, a bathroom for ants?

And wow, that plumbing is quite old.

     

                 

 Well this is a convenient way to get to the basement.  That storage closet is certainly a great place for all your kitchen equipment.  As long as you don't need it very often.

Here is a closeup of the wallpaper, and perhaps you can see how the cabinets don't close.

Hmmmmm, there must have been some flooding at some point.

These cracks are all over the house.  The house has settled, lath and plaster likes to do this apparently.

We have a beautiful side, front porch.  It's been covered in astroturf for a very long time.  Here we are inspecting all the cracks that we found below.  Again, the house has settled.

Oh, and the posts are starting to rot out.  Nothing we can't handle.

Anyone notice the way the chimney is leaning?  It works though!

It's not all doom and gloom this is just some of the work that we need to do.
