In the beginning

Jessica and I closed on the new house on July 8th, 2010. We had been looking for houses in the area for awhile but we were having a hard time finding anything in our price range that wasn't someone else's bad redo. After a couple months of looking, we decided to purchase a house in the area we wanted that needed some updating, so that we could make our own. Here is what we settled on:
  • Style: Ranch
  • Year Built: 1965ish
  • Bedrooms: 3
  • Bathrooms: 2
  • Garage: 2 car attached
  • Finished Sq Ft: ~1700
  • Basement: Unfinished/walkout
  • Foundation: Poured concrete
  • City: Prairie Village
  • State: Kansas
The previous owners had taken great care of the house, putting in a new furnace, air conditioner, and hot water heater within the last 5 years, and redoing the roof and driveway within the last 10 years. On the other hand, the esthetic elements of the house hadn't been the benefactor of updates. Here are some pictures shortly after we bought the house:
