So Wednesday I closed on my first house. I'm pretty excited about it. Zero buyers remorse. It needs some TLC but I think it will be a nice home after I've given it some time to work on it. I currently have four room mates and will be adding a fifth in August. Here are some pics:
This shot is right inside the door to the shop. The shop is broken up into three rooms. There is a bay for the first garage door. The door on the right in this picture is to a storage room with shelving. The door on the left is to the other bay that has 2 overhead doors.
This is from the other corner of the first bay. Yes, there is a little mold on that wall. I'm figuring they washed a car inside or the snow blew in during the winter time. Easy fix.
This is the storage room with shelving.
A shot of the two bay room.
Second angle of the two bay room. That's my coworker Joe checking the place out. In the corner next to Joe there is a 220 connection. The former owner used it for an air compressor. Both bays are heated by overhead natural gas heaters. Processing our hunting kills will be much easier this year.
This is the two car garage that is attached to the house. Its not big enough for my truck so I don't know what I'm going to use it for.
This is a shot from right inside the front door.
Alternate view of the front living room.
This is a shot from the dining room into the kitchen. My master bedroom is through the door at the back.

Upstairs bathroom.
Upstairs front bedroom.
Upstairs back bedroom. It has a bay window.
Master Bedroom. My bathroom is on the right.

My bathroom.
The water heater is right next to my bathroom. Kind of weird.
Spacious laundry room.
Hallway into the garage.
Stairway downstairs.
So the basement is what I would classify partially finished. It has sheet rock, and fixtures and electrical outlets. But the flooring is simply painted concrete. It needs a little work. This pic is at the bottom of the stairs.
Downstairs bedroom #1. My new room mate Jason has already moved into this room.

Downstairs bedroom #2.
Reverse angle of bedroom #2.
Downstairs living room. That is a natural gas stove. Its not very impressive. It barely puts out enough BTU's for the room it is in.
Wider angle.
Reverse angle of the downstairs family room. The door on the left is kind of a cold storage/mechanical room. My water system goes through that room. Joe is standing in the bathroom door. Bedroom 2 is in the middle door.
Downstairs bathroom and location of project #1. I have already done some demo in the room. I will be installing a shower this week to make this a 3/4 bathroom. There is some dead space in the framing at the back left and that is where the shower will be installed. The thing in the floor is a sump. The basement is lower than the intake of the septic tank. So the sump acts as a lift station to pump waste water into the septic tank from this bathroom.

That's my new house. I just mowed the yard yesterday. That was a chore, it took me 2.5 hours. I'll try to post some pictures of the outside some time this week. Hope you like it :-)
