OUR NEW HOUSE

When TJ and I bought our duplex he told me we would only have to live it for 5 years. Well our 5 years was up last year so I started hounding him to buy me a house! I was contantly looking for houses to buy but we could never find one we both liked, then we decided to look for property. I would only buy something in our current ward so it was a very hard task!!

Then we found it!! An old house on a half acre!! I was thinking it would be fun to fix up an old house but after looking through it I decided it would just be torn down!! We finally bought it right before Christmas...Here are some outside pictures!!

Looking at it from the back of the property...

Up close in the back....

A nice side view!!!

Straight on!! Man did we have our work cut out for us!!

WHAT THE........

Here are some random pictures of the inside of the house!! I took so many of them, these are the ones I think show how bad it was!! Keep in mind the house doesn't look half as bad in the picutes as it did in real life!!

This was the staircase that went to the basement..The walls had totally fallen in..

A nice picture of the kitchen, TJ had already taken the cupboards and counters out but other than that this is exactly how it looked when we bought it...

Another view in the kitchen, it was so disgusting!!

Finally the main room. Like I said it was totally gross, everytime I left I felt like I needed to scrub my body down and burn my clothes!! I will never know how people live like this!!

BURN IT

The Fire Department came and burned our house down for us!! This is the very start of the fire through the side window.


These two pictures are of the back of the house...
The side of the house....
And finally the front!! There was so many people standing around watching!! It was so awesome to watch it burn down!!
