House #17: Landscaping Woes

April 13, 2010

We’re nearing completion on The Escher House, and part of our last minute efforts is to do some very serious landscaping… (see pics below) I mentioned previously the water we had sitting in the front yard, as well as the water that was seeping up from our driveway.

House #17: Exterior Rehab

April 9, 2010

In my last post about The Escher House rehab, I promised pictures… While I don’t have a whole lot of pictures just yet, I wanted to post a BEFORE and (Almost) AFTER picture of the front exterior of the house. We decided early on to remove all the cedar siding from the front of the […]

House #17: Inspection Results

March 5, 2010

We had our pre-purchase inspection of The Escher House yesterday, and it looks like we didn’t miss anything in terms of repairs or condition of the property… The biggest concern I had was a crack in one of the poured foundation walls, and since my inspector is also a structural engineer, I was confident that […]

House #17: The Escher House

March 4, 2010

We just put House #17 under contract yesterday… It’s a bank-owned foreclosure right just about a mile from my personal residence. It’s a 22 year-old house, and to be honest, I have no idea how to describe the style. It’s a traditional, but also has some characteristics of a split level. Half of it sits […]
