House Update

So I bought another digital camera cause the one I had was just too big for travel needs, but for whatever reason, I can not get the pics off the camera easily. So below is a big group of pics from the past couple of weeks. We've made some great progress, and began painting yesterday, a sign that I'm in the home stretch. I also got to meet the neighbor who was the best friend and executor of the estate for Ms Newton, and I got a little history on the house, I'll post that later this week.

So here is the house as of 12-3-08. The pics of the dining room are just to show how much supplies and tools are everywhere. (UPDATE: a coworker had a cool gadget to help me get my pics off the camera, so there are pics from yesterday as well)

inside pics

Was trying to get these up earlier, but I was in recovery from the Skins crushing defeat Sunday night...damn cowboys, I hate those guys.

So here are some pics of the inside of my new place. The furniture is not staying, although I tried to buy that TV in the dining room (found out it still works, thing must be 50 years old by now.) I also found out that the previous owner, Ms Newton, was 81, and the second owner, she never married or had kids, and all of her siblings had passed a while ago. The listing agent actually grew up across the street and said she was a great lady.

Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city

Well after a 7 month search, I have found a new home!



I go to closing on November 26, and will move in sometime around x-mas (it wouldn't be a Gauthier house without doing some work before moving in)

I'm heading back this weekend to do some measuring and planning, and I'll take some pics of the inside and post them. Everything in the house is all original from 1911 when it was built, some amazing wood work.

I'll keep posting updates on the house here, and I may also starting posting some other stuff again too (picked up a a bunch of new music on my vacation)
