So what exactly is this blog about? Well, it's about us transforming our home.
Not a McMansion or anything like that. It's a mobile home (technically a manufactured home, something about when it was built that determines which term should be used, I have to do some research to find out more about that).
We purchased this home in 2014 and boy, what an outdated mess. The actual manufactured home was built, I believe, in 1974. Sometime in the 80's the previous owners added on to it, so it's now a mobile/stick built hybrid. Aside from that, it doesn't seem they did anything else to it. It was horrendous. They were using it as a sort of vacation home for quite some time, only coming up for the summer and ski season (did I mention we're in the Pocono Mountains?). They used to rent it or lend it out to friends and family as well, we think, because there was a "usage manual" for the house. That made me giggle. When I find that book I have to post pictures.
I decided to start this blog because right now, I've just been taking before and after pictures, but I wanted to do a little more than just have pictures saved, so I thought it would be fun to do it this way. For the most part, we've been trying to do everything ourselves; my better half has been in the construction industry for years so he has a good grasp on most stuff, whatever he can't do he knows someone in the business that can, so we've been (relatively) lucky, though not all the time.
Well, with that said, it's time for me to start poking around on the computer and the camera for pics of the house that we've taken and just never did anything with.
Here are a couple beginning pictures, it's the front of the house as it was when we bought it. Don't think I have a picture of the back, don't know what I was thinking not taking one!.
