This was the home long before my parents bought it, it was the type of home in a town that was a staple in the community for its scale and dimension. In the article below you will see that when a bad storm hit one day in May of 1962, the wrap around porch was destroyed. The porch that exists to this day is the one that i restored, and i hoped to one day rebuild the wrap-around on it but sadly my father passed away before those plans where ever put in to motion.
The picture below is one that was taken before the home was renovated from being a two-apartment complex and turned back into a single home, so the two windows above the veranda are now one small window and that is it exterior changes to present day.
This last photo here is of the house when the pool was first functional before it was let go, in relation to the other renovation photos i have shared.
This is the kitchen, living room area of my house that my Dad and I decided to put hardwood floors in. We used solid oak hardwood planks, Bruce brand, I had no complaints with the flooring at all. It was a time consuming task especially when it came to coping around and through doorways but, it gave my Dad the opportunity to buy these tools for his inspired son. Tools required: finish gun, compressor, pneumatic flooring nail gun, wall shims, corded multi-tool, rubber mallet, pry-bar, chalk line, hammer, ear plugs, goggles, chop saw, table saw and 2 1/2" flooring nails and finish nail. I drafted up these plans in my drafting class for the whole home, but focused on the kitchen area so an accurate idea could be reached of this job.
