The front bedroom spans the entire front of the house. It was originally two rooms that have been converted into one
master suite. It includes a fireplace and a cozy bay window.

| Taken the day I bought the house. Notice the carpet that was through the whole house. |

A "window-door" provide acess to the top of the front porch which had a railing at one point in time. I may add
the railing again.

|
| Making Progress.... |
| Nearing Completion..... |
|
|
| A Big Change.... Almost Ready for the Trim.... |
The new hardwood in the master bedroom is almost done. I still have the hall and two smaller bedrooms. It has gone smoothly,
but it is work... I'm doing it all myself. The current flooring is old pine and over the years has had lots of damage.
They cut through the flooring to install electric at one point. The house originally had gas lights and knob and tube wiring.
I have purchased the flooring and am working on getting the master bedroom ready. My original target date to have the flooring
finished was the end of summer 2007 but now I'm thinking it may be Christmas of 2007. Doing the work yourself just takes
extra time. I jokingly say that I've scheduled the completion party for the house for December of 2012 but that might get
pushed back to Easter of 2013.
