[Crawlin]

nice ass house!!!

those shots should definitely help you sell it!

[Exitspeed]

Something kinda funny...those shots were taken on Sunday....I wanna see if anyone catches why that's funny.

[JohnnyT]

Dont remember seeing any blue skys on Sunday, that's my guess on the funny...

Nice house BTW! Does it come fully furnished??? :)

Edit: Actually, if you look close the sky is photoshopped... Nice job!!! :)

[GTSLOW]

Nice looking pad. :D

[michelle]

Wow, very nicely decorated!

[BAD LS1]

The interior is very nice! So this is what things can look like if you dont piss you're money away on new cars all the time? Hmmm (Must get wife blocked from this thread)

We could definitely work that out. ;)

And yeah the sky is photoshopped. No other choice when the weather won't cooperate ALL weekend. It cracked me up though waking up today and the sky basically looks like the photo's. :durr

[GOOD LS1]

I WANT! Too late Tom, sell the damn cars I'm redecorating!

[0TransAm0]

LMAO :rolf:rolf:rolf:rolf

[pOrk]

Y r u selling? House looks straight out of a magazine. Your kitchen is awesome, love the concrete bathroom countertop as well.

[RanJer]

From what I've gathered, they're selling to build. The house is just plain awesome from personal experience, many times over. I was there when they first bought it, and there about a week ago (and many times between).. They've done so much to that place it's incredible.

Best of luck with selling it Mel!

[Cryptic]

nice pad... great HDR shots

[jbiscuit]

amazing house and amazing photos! Well done!

[u_say_go]

who painted your house?!?!? really nice use of color, amazing!

Pretty much this^. We want to build in a few years. I also took a job in West Bend and start in a couple weeks. If things turn out well there (which I'm expecting they will) we'd like to live a little closer.

We designed and remodeled the entire house ourselves,inside out. Every
tile, piece of drywall, wall of paint, etc etc has all been done by my wife and I. We've been working on this house since the day we closed. Actually the day after I started tearing out the wall between the living room and kitchen and we haven't stopped since. We've painted every room in the house at least twice. Some 3-4 times. My last estimate was that we've went rhough almost 80 gallons of paint (exterior included) since we moved in. Yes, my wife and I are a little anal when it comes to that stuff.

Here are some pictures of the house the way we bought it. You have to see these to reeeaaaallly appreciate all the work we've done. Sorry kinda big pics.

WOW! :wooo

That's really impressive! Awesome job!

[turbogarrett]

Looks very nice!

Did you pull permits for all that work?

[Exitspeed]

Looks very nice!

For all the work that needed permits, yes.

[pOrk]

I work in west bend and live in tosa, wanna trade? That house would be worth the extra drive time for me, a bit out of my price range though. Awesome job you've done mel, really awesome

[Lash]

How long did it take you to do all the work?


Looks good!

Not sure the trade would be in our best interest. lol

We bought the house in Nov 05 and have pretty much been working on it nonstop since.

Thanks.

[EvolvedRegal]

Did you build the pergola in the back? Im extremely intrested where you got the plans from since I will be doing the same to mine in the very near future.

I did. I designed it myself. I did TONS of research online and found like 3-4 plans and how-to's. Obviously none of them were exactly what I was looking for so I kind of combined them all and tweeked it for my space. If you have any specific questions send me a PM and I can probably answer'em. That only took us a day to do. It's rock solid. As solid as any deck. In fact basically the only difference between this and a deck is the 2x2's on the top instead of deck boards.

[SSScottSS]

Good lord you've done a great job with that house!!!! Wow... well done to you and your wife on an excellent remodeling job!

You two are like real life HGTV! :thumbsup

[hrsp]

holy shit that house looks amazing

[Exitspeed]

^
Thanks.




You two are like real life HGTV! :thumbsup

That is a fair assumption.

To be honest though we're looking forward to doing some relaxing and vacationing and enjoying our baby.

[turbogarrett]

For all the work that needed permits, yes.

Good call, I've seen a lot of people who remodeled without permits run into problems when it was selling time.

[SmokinRAM114]

holy cow!! that turned out hella nice! one thing i notice that u seemed to do weather u tried or not and is a pet peve of mine is it looks like you tried to keep the same color wood in each room. I hate when there is light wood table dark cabnets redish hutch and so on. I gota have everything match :thumbsup

[Exitspeed]

Yes, same color wood throughout is intentional. In fact our bedroom set used to be a medium oak color. Just recently we stripped and sanded the entire set and refinished it to match everything else. THAT was as much freakin work as some of the remodeling.

[73MACH]

Beautiful house! Awesome work!

[SSScottSS]

Hey, where's the garage pics?? An automotive enthusiast like yourself with your decorating/remodeling skills should have one hell of a garage:)

The garage isn't done as nice like the rest of the house unfortunately. It wasn't quit as important as the main part of the house. If we were planning on staying there for the next 30 years I would have definitely gotten around to it.

[Yooformula]

gorgeous home! but then again I was hooked when you first posted pics of the pergola when you were building it.

[OxmanWI]

Nice house, I'm looking at the New Berlin and Brookfield areas. If you come down about 100K, you'd be in my price range. :D Good luck with the sale!

[BigSnailBuick]

Wow what a SICk amount of work you guys did!!!! Would be hard to sell for me after everything that went into it :wow

[flyin_blue_egg]

sweet looking house...i must say that compared to how your wife and you made it look, the original house was ugly IMO. but now it looks AWESOME!!

It's not easy selling, but we're looking forward to building a new house in the future.

The house was nasty when we bought it. I totally agree. Luckily my wife and I are able to look at a house like that as a clean slate and can see it's potential. The house was on the market for a long time before we bought it.
