before

THIS BABY NEEDS AN INTERVENTION! This is the "before" shot of the house that we purchased over 6 months ago. We stalked this "house" for 2 years as it sat vacant and waited for the right time to strike and take the plunge and buy the "dumpy split level". The reason this house/lot appealed to us, was that it is a very private lot at the end of a dead end street, minutes from downtown Birmingham.

We did what you were supposed to do and bought the worst house in a great neighborhood. I'll save you all of the drama, but it has been a rocky roller coaster to get to the point of construction.

We finally began demolition on Monday, August 1, 2011. The house was down in less than 45 minutes and the site was ready to go in 4 days.

I am excited that you are joining me on this journey of our construction project. This is one roller coaster that I cannot wait to ride!
