Just closed on my first house last week. I found a nice 1300sf ranch in Alden with 2 acres just 5 min from where I work. It is a solid house that just needs updating on the inside. 3 bedrooms, and a full basement with really nice poured 8’ high foundation walls. An older man lived here alone, and neglected a lot in the past few years. The landscaping, and yard is a mess, but with some time, I will make it nice again. As some of you know, I pretty much have been running a side business doing home remodeling and construction for the past few years. I have a lot of plans for this house, and look forward to sharing some projects on here. There is a ton of work ahead of me… First project before moving in is going to be a complete gut and remodel of the bathroom as it has seen better days. The kitchen will probably be a fall project for next year as money will be tight for a while. For now, a good cleaning, and paint will have to do. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0495.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0495.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0335.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0335.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0473.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0473.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0578.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0578.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0574.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0574.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0573.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0573.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0567.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/viper10470/House/IMAG0567.jpg) ---

Congrats! Although I _thought_ my house was very clean, I spent the entire first weekend cleaning; it’s worth it to get it done right away before you start moving your crap in. ---

Thanks everyone! Yeah the place is going to need at a minimum new paint in every room, and a few gallons of cleaner. This will probably be my 200th bathroom remodel, and I am going to try to make it as nice as possible with a very small budget. I am used to spending other people’s money, it sucks when it’s my own. ---

Conrgrats! let the fun begin. It’s kinda like when we buy cars and personalize them, except it can cost a lot more, but you actually get money back for the “mods” X… ---
