Sky's Old House

Fun fact....we bought a house.  Fun fact......it's a crap hole.  Fun fact.....I'm really freaked out about it!!!!!  When I don't really talk about something that is when you know I'm freaked out.  That is why you haven't been reading in my blog about how we bought a freaking house.  Yep we sure did.  In early August we saw a run down house on a beautiful lot in our target neighborhood.  It was so run down that we threw a low-ball, like insulting offer at the people.  They didn't even respond to us.  Then after the home sat longer and longer they started to come around and wanting to talk price.  Next thing you know they accept a counter offer and we have bought a house.  The hubby and I have remodeled many homes before.  But in all of those cases it has been a room by room situation.  We now have 6 months to completely re-do an entire house.  We got a few quotes on getting the whole home done by a contractor and that is way more money than we have.  So the hubby started demo about a week ago and we are now getting quotes on the big stuff and planning on how the hubby and his helpers (family and friends) are going to get the rest done.  If anyone has any good contacts (quality work and good prices) please send them my way (sky@kioz.com).  I do love that the hubby is pulling all the old stuff out in good shape (appliances, cabinets, etc..) and giving it away to people.  Here are a few pictures I took yesterday.....
