We're making a little progress on the house. It's a 1950's brick rambler with that ugly weeping mortar. About 2300 sq ft, 4 bd, 3 bath, with lots of unfinished space in the basement. Big yard with sprinklers but no landscaping.
We've taken down a kitchen wall, which really opened things up. In the meantime we're living out of our appliances in the living room.
You like the fancy kitchen? It should be nice once it's all done. The metal cabinets need to be repainted. We debating between concrete versus granite for the counters (same price). And we're looking for a good travertine or limestone for the floor.
Every ceiling in the house had ugly popcorn texture. The living room had wood paneling. And all the carpet has to go and the hardwood floors underneath need some work.
The fireplace needs a facelift and we need some crown molding. We like the look of hardwood, but the guy who gave a bid on refinishing them wanted over $3000?!?! Anyone want to refinish our floors for us while we go on vacation?
