While I was out of town last week perhaps the biggest change to our house to date took place... NEW FLOORS!! While the before photos of the living room look OK, to be honest the laminate flooring was gross.  It obviously had gotten wet and as laminate tends to do was buckling..... Wanting to be as environmentally concientious as possible, I went with a fantastic vertical carbonized bamboo... buckling laminate flooring was not working out... ripping them out was the best option. After ripping up the laminate flooring we found out that the subfloors actually had been painted (per neighbors the homeowners lived like this for some time).  Woodboys, our new flooring installers, were happy about this as it apparently created a new moisure barrier in addition to the barrier they installed. You...

Why is it that so many 1970s homes have wood panelling?  Ok, so that was sylish back then but why do so many men still like it?  Why is it that men cringe when you say you want to paint over wood?  Well, if you are one of those guys who love the look of paneling and the 'man cave'... look away! Our den before.... This depressing room was given a lift with A LOT of primer and some great pigmented paint...   The floors will be redone later this week and the windows are supposed to be replaced soon (why they weren't painted).  The desk was left in the home and hauled out this evening.  Shelves and cupboard doors still need to be added but you can already see the changes happening. Right now this is the room that has the biggest improvement.  Prior to the paint job this room was dark and de...

In order to close on our new home we were told a few things by our lender - the first of which was it would have to have usable flooring throughout the home.  Well, somehow they let the fact that there was no carpeting slide upstairs, but the kitchen seemed to be another issue... If you remember, this was one of the scarier looking parts of our new home... since this is where the fridge would go we were certain there was going to be damage to the subflooring and we would have to rip all of this out and have a big job on our hands.  Instead we got lucky and found out that the previous owner had actually installed a layer of plywood and sticky tiles over the original subflooring and roll out vinyl floor.  Per the inspection there was no real damage, which meant we had easy (and cheap) opt...

We've been working on the new home for about 2.5 weeks now and are definately making progress.  Unfortunately sometimes it's really hard to tell.  A lot of what we've been doing has been ripping things apart, tearing it out or pulling it down.  The good news is that this part of the process is very cheap... really mostly free! Remember the Dining Room Before....   Vinyl sticky tile flooring, popcorn ceiling, wrong color walls for my decor....   Our progress....   In the living room and dining room we ripped out the vinyl flooring, painted the walls and scraped the ceilings (ok, they haven't been scraped in the living room yet... which is sad because it needs it the most, but apparently this will be a job we'll have to hire out as the previous owner did something to make this a very tric...

A couple of friends who know that I recently purchased a home in need of massive renovation told me that I should begin putting together a blog about what all is involved, the process, tips and cost.  This diary, in additon to my regular blogs will attempt to tell the story.  When I can I'll tell you the 'how to' of the job and the overall cost.  I'm the first to admit that I can be thrifty and am always looking for a good deal.  I'm also the first to say that if I think we'll get better results or more ROI by spending some additonal money then I will.... on with the diary.... The beginning of the story - This year has been a monumental year in my life.  I won't go through all of it, but let's just say that some days I feel like curling up in my pajamas with a cup of coffee and not leav...

Summerville SC is a community that sits on the northwestern edge of the Charleston metro.  It has a population of around 45,000 people and is beloved by its residence for its small town feel, coveted school district, and Summerville High Green Wave football team, among other things. Real estate in Summerville always tends to do well with such power neighborhoods as Wescott Plantation & Legend Oaks Plantation.  Summerville also offers nostalgic style neighborhoods such as White Gables and The Ponds in which the neighborhood and homes are designed with old style downtown Charleston in mind.   To date, there have been 534 single family detached homes sold since the beginning of 2009.  The average sales prices has been a little over 181K with an average price per square foot of $89.  The av...

Summerville SC is a suburb of Charleston SC and is located northwest of Charleston off of I-26.  Summerville appeals to both families and businesses and is one of the fastest growing cities in the Lowcountry.  Summerville has a fairly large population at a little over 48,000 people but still has a small town feel and attitude.  The town was originally settled just after the revolutionary war by plantation owners but the town was not officially created until 1848.  There has seen a huge population increase in the last 20-30 years due in large part to its increased popularity to local military members assigned to Charleston AFB, as well as the overall growth of the Charleston metropolitan as a whole.  View Summerville in a larger map Current Numbers - Like most real estate markets Summerv...

The Berlin G Meyers Parkway in Summerville, SC was recently approved for federal funds to complete the extension of the highly trafficked road.  The project initially began in 2001 and was designed to relieve the congestion from Summerville's Main St, Hwy 17A.  The extension will add 2.5 miles to the parkway and hook back with U.S. Highway 17A southwest of Orangburg Rd. The federal money for the project's completion comes as 14.6 million dollar federal stimulus windfall into Dorchester County.  This will be combined with the one cent sales tax passed by county citizens in 2004.  The total cost will be 52 million dollars for the extension. County Councilmen Larry Haggart stated that right of way issues have been resolved and now is only waiting for the Army Corp of Engineers to sign off ...

The biggest resistance to staging recommendations usually surrounds painting.  It is interesting to me that sellers resist painting and then they wonder why a buyer can't overlook it.  Fact of the matter is that painting is tedious work and buyers don't want to think about all the work that have to do to move into a house.  The reason why you don't want to do it is exactly why you need to do it.  Which living room is more cozy and inviting?                  AFTER             BEFORE          This is the same exact living room.  The yellow on the walls was pretty bright (visualize school bus yellow).  Painting the walls and adding punches of colors with the pillows gives this room a different look.  The seller also used slip covers on the couches and rearranged the furniture per our stage...

Summerville South Carolina is a beautiful city located on the outer edge of the Charleston Metropolitan.  It is the choice of many "Charlestonians" as the place to call home.  Summerville is known for its beautiful homes in the downtown area, its Flowertown Festival, and for its ever popular Dorchester II school district.  The real estate market in Summerville is still relatively good, but as the information demonstrates below the area has taken a hit from the homes sale numbers of a year or two ago.  Expect much of the same for at least the remainder of the year.  Predictions are that the Charleston market will begin to see a turn around by the end of this year or early next year.  The wonderful thing about Summerville and the entire Charleston area is that people still want to live he...

Summerville is a suburb of Charleston SC that has its own unique history.  It is about a 30 to 45 minute drive to downtown Charleston, depending on what part of Summerville you are in.  The big attraction to Summerville is both its numerous highly desirable neighborhoods and its highly rated schools district which are considered some of the best in the state.  One of the newest neighborhoods to the area is The Ponds located off of Hwy 17A just between Old Orangeburg Rd and Hwy 642 (Dorchester Rd).  The community is still in the beginning stages but already has an amenities center, fire station, and a recently built YMCA.  The amenity center is a gorgeous newly restored home which was originally built on the property in the 1830s.  The Ponds has an abundance of hiking and walking trails...
