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.

the dump..........

No, I"m not referring to the house:) This is a photo of the gigantic dumpster that Larry ordered when he started the project.  Originally, he thought it would be too large, but the guy convinced him to go with their largest model.  Normally, these hold around 1 ton.  But, not when Larry Brown does the packing.  His days of carefully packing overseas shipping containers to hold the maximum load have paid off.  Unfortunately this is not the final photo before they hauled it away.  When the guy came to pick it up, he estimated it would be closer to 2 tons.  Final tally.......over 5 tons!  The guy said he had never in all of his years in the business seen a dumpster packed so tightly.  When he dumped it, it came out altogether in a tightly pack cube!!  We just ordered another one:(
