Our latest finished product!! As usual, we thought this was going to be a pretty straight forward “cosmetic flip”, just updating every surface inside as well as a new roof, windows and HVAC. We weren’t planning to do much else as far as exterior work or anything structural. Well, that went out the window pretty quick. As we were taking up flooring we found carpenter ants and termites. We’ve dealt with them on past houses, but we’ve never had BOTH in the same house. Termites in one room and carpenter ants in the other (and a lot of larvae—-EWWWW). I have a pic, but I will spare you the disgusting-ness. Due to this we had to replace quite a few exterior walls- which also meant removing siding. So, we decided to re-side the entire house. I am SO GLAD we did. It looks like a completely new house. I went to look for “before” pictures of this house and I didn’t even recognize it.
We also ended up re-arranging the utility/laundry room- taking part of it to turn the master bath into a full bath. Originally, the only door to the back yard was through the utility room. We closed that off and put in a sliding glass door off the dining room leading out to a huge brand new deck.
We put this one on the market and quickly had several offers. It is officially SALE PENDING. I can’t wait for the new owners to enjoy it!

We’ve got a bit of landscaping to get done once the weather will cooperate and in the next month it will be SOLD. Time to concentrate on our TWO HUGE projects we have going on: Donica Church (that you’ve seen from other posts) and Moffett Lane- I am working on getting a post up about it. Hopefully more to come on that one soon.
