This page contains pictures of the house that I bought this past year.  

I decided to buy the house because it had a nice yard and even though the interior was totally not my style (words that come to mind are: "pink", "orange carpets", and "flowered wallpaper"). I figured I could fix it up.

I closed on July 31st, 2002, the day after my parents were returning from a trip to Canada, so I borrowed them for a few days to help me rip down the wallpaper, rip up the carpet, put in a hardwood floor and do some painting.

It's been a few months, I and I finally feel comfortable taking "after" pictures.  The walls still aren't completely decorated and there's a few other things that still need to be done, but careful camera angles were able to hid that.
