At first we did not pass the electrical inspections. It seemed like the inspector would always find something else when he came. The biggest item that needed done was to put in a new water ground, we didn't even have a clue what that was. This required hiring a professional electrician, lucky for us we knew one. He was able to get us squared away.
If you have ever had to deal with inspectors, than you know how happy we were when we finally passed. It had been one heck of a ride and we weren't even close to being done.
Reminder of what it looked like before
Finally, we, and our lil cottage could breathe. Of course, there are still a million things to do : )
The other side of the living room
Reminder of what it looked like before
All new windows, flooring, the addition of cornice boards, and crown molding were some of the other big changes for the living room. We still have to work on the front door area, but we are pleased.
Side note: We had bought a new set of furniture, but once we placed it in the new smaller living room, it did not work. It was back to our old antique furniture, it fit perfectly. I now understand why furniture was narrow back then. My philosophy has always been to only buy furniture you can move by yourself, I should have stuck to it. What do you think so far : )
