Langriville Update- GONE

Jeff's been working like crazy on this house... lots and lots of long days. And things are coming along. But it still looks like a disaster at the moment.

Remember the walls keeping the kitchen seperate from everything else?

Well it's GONE!

And those beautiful but very big and overgrown trees in the front yard...

Also GONE!

Plumbing, electrical and framing is pretty much complete now. But they were also messy jobs.

I think we will be ready to get the dry wall up in about a week and then finally things can be put back together again.

We are turning two bedrooms into a large master bedroom with bathroom.

We dug up the some concrete in the basement to move plumbing.

Here's my Reno Tip:

Sell everything. We have made over $1000 just by selling everything we pull out of the house. Kitchen cabinets, appliances, toilets, landscaping rocks and stones etc etc. We even had someone clean up those trees we cut down just so they could have the firewood. Thank you Kijiji!

Langriville House

Here it is... our newest project. This will be the first house we flip without living in it, which is kind of nice. Now that we have a certain 1 1/2 year old, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't survive renovation!

It's a 1050 square foot house in North Glenmore, an inner city community in Calgary. One where prices can get quite high for these little houses.

This is what it looked like when we first viewed the house... very full of clutter.

We looked at this house the first day on the market and we had a competeing offer on this house, it is definately a hot area. But we obviously got the house and are excited to see it transform.

The owners did a great job of clearing it out for us..
