After three years of renting i finally got fed up with having to work on my projects in a storage unit and having stuff scattered in 5 locations 3 hours apart, so i bought a house! In the final stages right now, hoping to close the first week in november. Little info on the house and what i got upcoming for it. The house was built in 1967 and is well taken care off other than a few minor issues. Comes with 1 1/4 acres and will be perfect for me. The real issue is the yard that has been fully taken over, oh and the "tasteful" pink shower that needs gutted and redone. So anyway, here's some pics of what i bought and some of the projects i've been working on in preparation to start taking care of the property right when we close.

Mind you this house is at the end of a dead end street, here's the street view

standing next to the doorway to the mud room, looking into the dining room, kitchen, and main entrance. Very open floor plan for being this old of a house.

Howdy. Welcome to the GJ. Looks like you've got a ton of work ready for you to wade into. That chainsaw looks like a beast. At least you won't be bored anytime soon. Keep us up on your adventures.
