House 1 – Beginning of Insanity

The creation of this page is extremely ambitious, as it assumes that (1) we will be successful with our first “flip,” (2) we will not kill each other in the process; and (3) we will want to do this again. I am hoping that this page will keep us going, and help to repress any heat-of-the-renovation-moment homicidal urges.

Fingers crossed. (UPDATE:  WE DID IT!!)

You can check out different portions of this renovation here (note: we started POS after completing the kitchen and halfway through the first bathroom reno, which is why posts are sparse about those two. We are totally sharing way too much by now):
