Flippin Sweet



Here is the beautiful house on Sunny Lane! This was taken a couple of days ago after we got possession. It is a ranch with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It also has a basement...although this seems to be the worst part of the house right now due to water damage and just plain grossness. We have gotten a great start so far. Everyone has been helping so far just with the demolition of the property....tearing kitchen cabinets and countertops out, knocking walls down, taking the bathroom apart, getting rid of a certain nasty waterbed that was left. Wow, lots to do, but we feel good about what has been completed already! One of the things I am most excited about is Ruthann's accomplishment of getting rid of the AWFUL smell that filled the house. Lots of candles have been burning...it's much better now! These next pictures were taken the first night without anything being started yet. We'll post pictures later this weekend after a couple solid days of work! :) Enjoy!








This is the kitchen. Now it is completely empty! We are working on taking 3 layers of wallpaper/paint down so the guys can start painting here soon.














This is the dining room area looking out to the backyard.













This is the living room! Notice the lovely wallpaper and orange chair left behind.














One of the bedrooms







This is the garage almost full after only being there a couple of hours working in the kitchen.

















And finally, here is Adam in the basement! Yes, that is a Napoleon Dynamite shirt he is wearing. Pretty appropriate since it says "Flippin Sweet"....have a wonderful weekend. I know we will. :)
