Second Floor

This is my bedroom, bathroom, and typewriter room; it runs the leghth of the house. I have bathroom with two sinks and matching medicine cabintes and a toilet. Toilet and sinks are turquoise.

This is the typewriter section, orginally was bedroom but I swtiched it in 2008.

I has really good bones. First thing when you get windows, get a six panel door for the front and paint it a darker color, maybe burgundy. You might find a used one somewhere that could fit the 36" space.

Creating an entrance is the best thing, you will feel at home when you drive up.

I remember my first home: Mustard color walls and ceilings and turquoise carpeting. The restoration was really catartic, and in the end, worth it.

The house has great potiental...I like old houses like this, I can always see a diamond in the rough! It looks like it has lots of room inside with the upstairs room, and the basement, and that bay window should be a nice place to relax in!

The upstairs has very low ceilings, slanted walls, I find very cozy up there. There are three built-in dressers, built in bookcases, built in cabinets, two closets one of them is a walkin with shelves and hanging rod. The house was painted by the previous tenant, but he didn't scrape before he painted it, painted of the tops of some of the windows. He lived there rent free and was supposed to be fixing it, but from the looks of it. He didn't do much of anything except make it worse, so he was evicted. When we were cleaning out the kitchen cupboards we found dried pot leaves on one of the top shelves. He painted glass windows on the kitchen door to the back porch black and covered it with a black garbage bag. I spent a whole day scrapping the windows with a razor blade just so we could get light in there.

Sounds like it was a grow-op previously

Who took a dump in my oven?

Interesting house!

Always better to get the full rent from the tenant and return a portion to them for services received. Avoids exactly such scenario.

Of course one wants to get a "cleaning deposit" up front as well. Not less than $200. So when the slobs leave you can hire a cleaning service and don't have to be the maid yourself.

The house was pretty dirty when we moved in. My rommate, a friend, and I actually spent a week cleaning before we were able to move in. The previous tenant didn't clean out any of the kitchen cupboards--lots of food left, which we wouldn't touch with a 20 foot pole was thrown out. Lots of cleaning supplies under the kitchen and bathroom sinks, to bad he didn't know how to use them properly. The deep freeze was full of plastic milk containers of frozen water, and partial container of of ice cream all went in the trash. The counter between the two sinks in the upstairs was covered with mold and mildew. I spent at least four hours cleaning the upstairs bathroom.
