Enjoy and I look forward to the day when my lovely couch seen in the first picture below on its side covered in plastic can be used.








On April 4,2008 I took the chance of a lifetime to own my very own house. Follow along as I take chances in rehabbing a house with limited skills learned from growing up. I'm sure there will be some tears shed, blood & bruises, and lots of sweat....but isn't that what life is all about? Taking risks(chances) on something you never imagined possible.

Looks good. Are you doing this all yourself, using contractors, or family/friends?
Corey,
I just realized that people were commenting on my blog because I didn't have the system set-up to notify me.
I'd say about 75% of the work was me...I had/have the bruises/cuts/headaches to prove it(Haha). The other 25% was a contractor. Like you with your bathroom, I worked out this crazy contract with an amazing contractor. My parents & sister are all self employed and live in Richmond...so unfortuantely I didn't get any of the help I had planned on originally. The internet makes my house look good but if you come in person,you'll see my drywalling mistakes or laugh about how I did some of the plumbing. My motiviation to get this house done came from my desire to procrastinate on my grad school work(unfortunately my grades show that now) and all the free time I had from becoming single the week I bought my house.
