THE SHELL

It all began with the shell. The empty home. The empty walls. The place where we brought all our items from a single wide 16x80 to this MASSIVE 2500sf+ space. Our belongings looked lost and alone.

We got a deal on this place. It's a little shy of 1/2 an acre with a back deck going almost the entire length of the home. We had looked at so many homes that when I found this one online, my first thought was, "What is wrong with it?" It does have a few crazy things going on, but nothing that can't be repaired over time. The answer to my question was that it was in the middle of a divorce settlement. The price was the lowest I've seen for this area, for this size space, on our own property already fenced in and in a NICE area. We looked at a lot of nice places, houses and mobile homes, in areas we did not want to be in. Next to TRASH and junk and killer dogs. This place is one of three in a cul-de-sac and our neighbors are awesome. We have been very blessed.

Here are a few examples of the spaces I will be working on. Please disregard the poor picture quality. There was a lot of light and white walls.
