This Old House

A new archway! An old "craftsman " house
A very old and very cool window.

We started another project / flip house. The house was built somewhere around 1920-1926.

There are some very neat features to the house such as the original windows in the dining room and living room. Too bad it wasn't better taken care of because most of the windows are beyond repair. The interior doors were half replaced ( by someone that didn't know a hammer from a screwdriver ) and the ones that were not were trashed.

The former tenants left enough trash in and around the house to fill 2 roll off dumpsters. Thats about 40 cubic yards. We have been working on it for 6 weeks ( with lots of days off and lots of breaks during our work day) . It will probably take until about the middle of May to complete.

We already started looking for the next one to do but will take a break to catch up stuff around the house we live in.

do you find this " house flipping" to be financially rewarding ? You are lucky you are young enough to do that.
