I also almost purchased the station on Old Colerain. I believe it was engine 19. I was literally a day late and a dollar (couple k ) short. I looked at Northside on chase as well a couple of times. This first time it was too much $. The second time it was going to be too much work to get it...

Family Room: The family room originally had a wall around the stairs that I tore down. The floors were carpet over linoleum over Masonite over maple. Refinished the maple, built a knee wall, and then just cosmetics. Before: During: After:

Front Landscaping: The front was originally pretty drab, dull, and boring. My awesome wife made a few contacts, sent an email, and the next thing you know Desperate Landscapes is tearing up my yard! Before: After:

The transom was made by a local artist and was added by the desperate landscapes team.

Entry: The original entry had a glass door that was racked and a hazard for my dogs. It also had an ugly AC window unit in the original transom. I tore out the original door, door frame, and opening framing and started from scratch. I bought a door from a local salvage place and re-finished it...

When I tore out the original bath I took the time to get into the brick wall and expose and replace the original sanitary stack. I also framed a chase behind the sink to allow for plumbing and electrical routing for the upstairs. Many hours were spent staring at walls, corners, ceilings, giving...

First Floor Bath. This space was originally the kitchen that backed up to the stable (which is now the kitchen). The bath only had a throne and a sink. I reduced the size of the original bath and added a shower. Floor to ceiling individual subway tiles, about 3k of them and over a mile of grout...

Kitchen: The kitchen was originally part of the stables, the horse door remains. The former inhabitants took almost everything that wasn't bolted down. I tore down the ceiling, tore up the floor, sawcut for new plumbing, installed elec rad heat in new floor, new framing, new cabinets, lighting...

Nothing to exiting to update. Getting ready to put in a patio in the back yard, which evidently is a necessity..... Also biting the bullet and getting a new roof $$$$$ I did go through the thread and delete all of the images that were moved and am going to start re-posting pics room by room...

Update: Our episode of Desperate Landscapes airs on 5/1 on the DIY network. Working on small odds and ends in the house. Next couple of big projects: - Sump Pump in the basement - I dont have flooding issues, just continuous seepage - Chimney caps - another source of water in my basement...

I recommend going out and buying a cheap HF planer. There is so much poly and wax build up on the alley that sanding would take forever. I hit mine with a planer first and then sanded. I probably took off 3/16" of wax/poly/wood before I could get an even color. You have plenty of material to...

Can anyone post this as an image? I have already built the shelf on the left hand side. It is 4' deep by 8' wide. I am going to try to start the right hand side today. The post on the left is now a structural member that I had to install when I took out the hose tower. Hopefuly I wont have to...

Not much new going on. Been doing some small odds and ends. I did manage to start designing the Aparatus Bay (garage) in sketch up (fun program). Trying to figure out how to post the image.
