The House: the Before...

These are some pictures of my house the second time we looked at it- for the record- I didn't take them.  It was a foreclosure.  I found writing in the master bedroom closet, and it looks like it was someone trying to do the flip thing.  I had at first felt a bit bad that we were getting this deal because of someone's misfortune.  Once I read everything on the wall, I realized that whoever lost the house were not only juggling several other properties but they had also 'counted the eggs before market' with all sorts of sums that showed they'd be rich beyond their wildest dreams.  Over-extended because of reality television.

The back of the house- the awning over the porch collapsed during a snow storm before we finally closed.

Garage'o'fest'rama!

The living room.  All the walls were painted white and notice the popcorn ceiling- yuck

The upstairs bathroom- halfway done and filled with fittings that someone must have thought was 'classy'

Here's the beginning

So, I'm a geek.  A big one.  Recently I bought a house, and right after I got settled, I got a divorce.  Now the house is all mine, and I've decided to try and use it as a way to document my journey into the deepest of geekdom.
