House... What we have done so far

A lot of people have been asking me about the house to see pictures.  Here are lots of pictures some with the before and now picture, and others of just the origional because we haven't done anything.  I posted some at the beginning so it might be a double, so bear with me.

Before: Front of the house
After: not picture, My dad chopped all the weeds down,
and put up a dirt brim to keep the water from going to the basement

Outside, We have only mowed.  As you can see it needs A LOT of yard work. 
It's a panorama picture so it doesn't show the weird angle of the yard from living on a circle
It is bigger then some and has a short steep hill from sledding in a year or two.

Bathroom

Dining Room

Kitchen

Living Room

Now the Basement... The basement was all put aside (except the laundry room) until we moved in.  This will be our next main focus (Until we finish finding cabinets for the kitchen so we can paint them).  We are going to start with the office to do lots of painting, and can double as a Guest room until the Guest room is finished.  Right now the Guest room is storing EVERYTHING, so it's pretty messy.  It will be nice to have an office so I can organize my other side of the brain :)  Then we definitely need to tidy up the bathroom so our guests have a place to go.  Next the livingroom/all/stairs/guest room/ ceiling... ect.  As you can see from the pictures, we still have a lot more work to do :)

this and the next picture are of the room we will be turning into an office
Ceiling and walls need painted and floors laid down are the top priorities.

Our very sad looking downstairs bathroom
We can only imagine how much work this is going to be...
Good news!  The toilet works though (if you don't mind an open creepy ceiling above your head)

Stairs... yep, lots of work too.

The downstairs family room... the carpet as been ripped out.  It was the first
thing because it smelt so bad.  As you can see we will need to tear out the ceiling in here, paint, base boards,
flooring... you know the usual :)

Although it is a lot of work, we really like the house! I  will be really excited when the cabinets are finished so I can organize my kitchen; and when we build some book shelves so I can get rid of my boxes of books lying around.  Once those two projects are finished, upstairs unpacking will be done.  We are so grateful for being able to get this house and all the help we have had from family and friends.
