This Old House

Hi there, this blog is mainly for my Mother so she can keep tabs on me and my home, however anyone who wants to see how the house is coming along, feel free to browse...

The house that I chose was built in 1948 at 51st and A in East Sacramento, CA. This house has been owned by the same guy since it was built, however for at least the past ten years, this house was occupied by renters who did not take care of it very well. Particularly, the occupants of the house did not do any yard work for ten years...this was our first project over the Thanksgiving holiday. My Mom, Dad and brother came down to do some yard work for a few hours. After a couple of days, about 8 hours of work, and only one truckload to the dump, we made some progress:

Next project is re-finishing the wood floors and painting some walls...stay tuned.
