A Quick Tour

Well, I'm a rotten blogger. I could bombard you all with multiple posts, but is that tacky in the world of blogging? Anyway, here is a quick "before" tour of the house on Grenwood. I've got lots of picture of progress being made, but here's a look at what we started with.

Grenwood

We recently purchased our first flip. It's so exciting to be moving on in this new endeavor, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I was nervous! Brandon and I fell in love with this house when we first walked through it (the smell not so much), it has so much charm and potential. We've got big plans for this cute exterior. Brandon has already been busy with the chainsaw, on a ladder, with one hand. Hopefully I'll end up with a cute husband in the end along with a great house! No more shenanigans Mr. Hansen!

Well, let me just tell you this; there are two things I'm quite sure of.  Numero uno - I am not a good blogger. And B - fixing up a "fixer upper" is a lot more challenging than I thought it would be.  Lucky for the Hansen fam we have amazing family and friends to help us along in this endeavor.

A few months ago Brandon and I started feeling extra sick of apartment living, I'm actually quite sure we had a wild pack of dogs living in the apartment above us.  Although we had about 6 months left on our lease, we had to see what was out there.  Well, we have this super amazing friend Michelle who is a real estate agent.  I was just checking out her website and found an amazing and I mean AMAZING deal on a house that is close to where we still live.  I called Michelle and we went to look.  Now, this house really needed some work, but I thought "Hey, Brandon has already done this once.  I'm sure he'd love to do it again!"  To make a long story short, we bought the house and it is awesome.  The 'B' word graffitied on the brick fireplace is even starting to grow on me.
