Crack House!

After a lot of thought on how to turn our home into an income producing property in order to qualify for federal historic restoration grants... we've decided to temporarily transform this place into a crack house! Great idea right!! I know!!! I'm so excited!!!

Ok, let me explain... It all started a long time ago...

Mini Project - Cast Iron Tub

A miracle has just happened! I was able to escape the suffocating confines of the dungeon long enough to finish up a mini project that has been ongoing since we moved into this house a year ago. I know... why did it take so long to finish up a mini project? Well, I don't have an answer! It just tucked so neatly away in the garage... Also it made such a great makeshift table to pile things on that I couldn't bear to finish it. That, and the fact that you have to throw your back out in order to move the blasted thing! So, if you haven't guessed by now, I'm talking about the cast iron tub!! I believe it made a cameo on some earlier pictures of the house...


Ahh... It is a beautiful room no??

Fugly Fact #1: 
The PVC plumbing and plastic fixtures on the supply lines were spray painted silver... nice
...although I didn't have such hard feelings when pricing some nice tub hardware

Fugly Fact #2:
I've still got the sconces.. anyone want them?
