baby Jack’s bedroom.
Our house didn’t even have electricity or running water when it was built, so these things were added in over time and there have been a lot of different ways of doing electrical throughout the years.We’re lucky to have a couple of rooms (like the kitchen and master bedroom) that are completely modernized and up to code, and the rest of the house is only a little outdated, mostly.
One of the houses we looked at had all kinds of crazy things going on, like knob and tube wiring mixed with other things, and it was just a little too much for us to deal with at the time.We do have some pretty ridiculous looking outlets though.They’re functional, but we’ve been slowly updating them as we go through the renovations on different rooms.. Leaky Roofs.
So, our roof wasn’t too old when we moved in.It was about 10 years old, but it was leaking in MULTIPLE places!.
We replaced it with a new steel roof last year, that’s supposed to last until the end of time, but we still have some pretty dramatic evidence of the stress we felt every time it rained that first year.
And it always rains here.. And this one:.The rest of the room is almost done being painted as well!
I’ll show you that soon!It’s pretty bad in here.We’ve lived with walls like this in the master bedroom for the last two years (minus that bit of white trim that I’d already started painting in this picture).
Honestly, it’s made me feel pretty sad and hopeless at times when I’ve walked in here.It’s just so much darkness and it feels dirty and dingy too.
