Before and after My crack house & Thanks

[swampratt]

3/0-5/0 looks like

Those windows are the only free windows I had they came from my house I live in and I put them in here in the year 2000
and many years later a hail storm destroyed the house and broke some plastic on those windows.

I saved them and used them for the front of this crack house they are 36" wide and 6 feet tall.

People ask me why such a big window I say that is what I had.
I try and use all the stuff I have I just love to recycle/repair instead up toss things in the trash.

Thanks guys.
My wife asked me if I was nervous putting a renter in the house after all the work I did to it.
I did everything, not any help but I do not want help either.. I am one of those guys.

I am a little worried with someone in it but I have known her since she was in diapers.
She is 32 now and is my hunting/fishing buddies daughter and his grandson in there.

That walkway in wood is made from fence pickets and stained dark and then 3 coats of tung oil finish.
I figured if going from front door to kitchen you will wear the carpet out.
House is too crooked to lay tile and the fence was free and neighbor gave me the carpet to do the 18 x 8 foot section in carpet.

All wood trim is handmade and stained. I do not like painted trim.. but sometimes I must go there.

1 of the bedrooms.

Before it had some wall art.

Great job Swampratt. Looks good. Now you can rent it out to a higher class of crack heads!

Good work. Looks great. A good example of making do and not compromising much. It’s not the materials it’s how they’re installed that matters.

I’m the same way. Help would be nice but unless someone is of the same mind, it can be too costly.
