We did go and look at the property before she purchased and knew there would be tons of work to do, but she is a worker and her two teenagers aren't afraid to get their hands dirty either. The previous owners had started to remodel but it got way out of hand and beyond their skill levels. She will be heating with a pellet stove which came with the house as they did though the home does have a newer central heat and air system for the lower floors. They had lived for two years with no trim around any of the windows and this turned out to be a blessing as they had foamed every crack and crevice they could find. I was amazed at how tight and draft free the house actually was. We installed all new storm doors which also tightened the home even more.

Forty two days straight we worked like troopers on a neglected homestead that my daughter had purchased along with six acres of land. It was hard work but seeing the little three bedroom house come back from the brink of neglect is rewarding. It is going to be a cute little cottage when we are finished and its value will be quite improved. She has a ton of before and after photos which I will get off of her camera and cell phone to let everyone see the differences a little elbow grease and paint can make.
