Our new rental house

This is the new house. I have been talking about doing a blog for a while, so here is part one. I have some pictures of the work that we have done so far. Notice the front door, that is gone now. We will be installing a glass storm door next week. The new windows are installed in this picture. We have cleaned the kitchen and painted the bedrooms, kitchen and have the primer on the living room walls, hopefully that will be finished tomorrow. We have steam cleaned the carpet in the living room. Installed an electric stove. The biggest job that Pat has done is re-finished the hardwood floors in the bedrooms. We have one week to do as much as we can to have it ready for the tenant to move in on May 1. I will put more pictures on next week.
Pat has really worked hard, I am just not physically able to do too much.





Green Bedroom, this is the bedroom closet, each bedroom has a closet like this. Two of the bedrooms in our house have exactly the same closet. There are two drawers that go under the closet. The top of the closet is great for storage.

We pulled up the carpet in the bedrooms. The floor in the first bedroom was beautiful the second and third bedrooms were terrible, the carpet pad had stuck to the floor. Would we be able to make it look good or would we just cover it back up with another carpet. You decide:

This is the Beige Bedroom, the old carpet pad stuck to this floor too, will it look okay ? Just scroll down and take a look.
