How it all began

Here are a few pre-construction photos. If you look closely at the first one, the front door was crooked when we bought it. This gave the appearance that the whole house was tipped. Also, the vinyl siding on this 1832 house was truly one-of-a-kind (not in a good way).

Matt and I bought 143 Fisher in November 2003, a few months after our wedding. We bought it from the Giffords. Cheryl Gifford is my friend and former co-worker. Adam Gifford renovated some of the house when they owned it - with a new kitchen and dining room and lots of work on the internal systems. We saw the potential. And, we've pretty much been talking about this renovation/addition since the closing. We're sooo excited to finally get started. So, I decided to start this blog to track the progress of the project....
