I don't really hate the house as much as I hate the town and the fact that I don't have the time, talent, or money to make it into the graceful swan it has the potential to be. I've done a lot to it--but each bit has been expensive.
My friend Jim put gorgeous tile floor into the kitchen at the end of summer. It really makes the kitchen look 100% better. The exterior needs serious work--via siding. The windows on the main floor are the original ones. The ones upstairs were replaced--but it was a long time ago--old rusco windows.
The house was actually insulated by some assistance program when an elderly lady lived in it. So that's not too bad. But every window needs to be replaced--and it needs to be sided. And it really should have a garage built onto it. Sigh
My poor house

SOOOO much needs to be done to it.
And it is in a town I have grown to HATE.
