Hey gang, here is a bunch of pics of my house renovations I did last summer and over this winter. A little bit about the house, Located in Edmonton, Alberta and built in 1957. We purchased the house for $312,900 and gutted the top floor in August of last year and moved in September 1st. It was a lot of long days but I did it all mostly myself and my girlfriend and contracted nothing. We as many of you have seen also reno'ed the pool and yard this year, the great news is that our house is now worth $550,000, thats $237,100 profit in less than one year. Good thing our market is hot, thank you oil. Heres the pics. I have millions more but heres a couple.
One of the first days. Kitchen was nasty.
Looking towards dining room. Wall is now gone and an archway is now there.

Living room.
Now. Don't mind the top line of the fireplace, its painted now.
Old hallway. The shelving on the left turned into the new art niche.
New. We also redid all the corners when we drywalled. They are now rounded.
Old Master bedroom. Tearing off the wallpaper was heck!
View from other angle in hallway.
Now. Sorry for the mess.
