The Special Needs House

Welcome to our house rehabilitation adventure in Medford, MA. After paying sky high rent for two years, we decided to take the plunge back into home ownership. This is no small task here on the East Coast. After a lengthy search and one misfire, we located this homely little house that needs ALOT of TLC. It is relatively close to Lorna's work, was reasonably priced (for the east coast) and the worst house in the neighborhood...meeting all of our top objectives. Larry has gained an instant job and is hard at work transforming this 1936 gem. Check back often to see the progress.

Giant Sucking Sound

Well, true to expectations, the money pit is living up to it's name.  Removing plaster, tile, etc has uncovered a whole treasure trove of specialness!  No, we haven't unearthed valuable antiques, but rather rotting floors, rusting pipes and the like.  Enjoy!!
