So we've been working on the place for almost 3 weeks (we moved in June 1.) We've gotten a lot done. Thought I'd post some pics of the new floor in the livingroom:
Living room before / Living room after flooring put in
Also, I have just received an offer for a new job and so I'm not sure how much I will be able to update. Still, I'll try to keep some of the major things posted. Next stop-the roof!
This was the kitchen when we moved in-welcome to "That 70s Show":
I figured out the answer to this question. The stove has what is called "solid elements"-cast iron burners that heat up. We also found the owner's manual and a special mail in slip for a cleaning solution! This stove and it's associated documentation will be on Craigslist soon.
I have never lived in a place with a crawl space. I don't think I ever will again.
It is spooky. No floor? What do you mean! I snapped this pic of an abandoned water heater that looked to me like it was lying at the bottom of the ocean.
Built by the current landlord's parents, this is a cabin on Lake Wabesa in McFarland, Wisconsin, a city with a history of summer cottages and great fishing. His dad, who use to drive truck and deliver varnish to the furniture makers in Rockford, Illinois, asked a bunch of carpenters to come up to his cabin "to fish"back in the late 20s when the economy started going south, and then had them help him finish the place! The roof was put on "the day Lindberg landed" (May 21, 1928).
