Tell me, O muse: An Odyssey begins.

And the Odyssey began with a small "wartime" 2 bedroom. Having almost none of my own proper tools OR know-how!... My old man began me on Handyman 101 and 201 classes to get me up to working condition. What came of it was a gutted, redesigned and refinished home! In all fairness, I didn't have any experience, so most of the things that I did on this house were supervised by "the boss" on this house. This one was quite a mess.

Now for the before and afters.

And now the supple rear end!

 The new open concept living room/kitchen

 Found used cupboards, sanded and refinished them with a malomine paint.

 The bathroom was in the WORST shape of them all.
