At this point you might be wondering what on earth, if anything, is happening INSIDE the house! Preparation and planning my friends. The house, while livable, will require many renovations to stabilize the structure, fix plumbing problems and prepare for a New Hampshire winter. Here are the rooms as we found them:
Our first Preparation goal is a good nights sleep! We thoroughly clean, sand down and refinish the built in drawers and floor of our new bedroom. With a little creative repurposing of the various furniture items around the house we have a cozy room to rest in once we begin the major renovations.
We are super excited to preserve the antique quirks of the original home, built sometime in the late 1800s. A no longer used front door is uncovered at the base of the staircase and we set up some temporary storage and work stations upstairs. More details to come as we begin to tear out the first floor!!
