Most people looked at the house and told us that we should just bulldoze it down but we saw it as a diamond in the rough. Everything in the house (including the floors and doors) are all original, meaning they are as old as the house. Why would I want to bulldoze something so old that just needed to be polished up? Anyway we decided to start with the upstairs and instantly began ripping down walls and ripping out carpet.
The upstairs was at some point turned into an apartment consisting of a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a sunroom/porch, and two bedrooms. We seperated this into one bedroom by combining a bedroom and the living room, kept the sunroom, a massive closet that used to be a bedroom, and a bathroom from the old bathroom and kitchen by knocking down a couple walls.
The other cool thing is that when we ripped up the carpet the original hardwood floors were underneath. Needless to say we decided to keep the hardwood floors. After the whole place was cleared out and swept clean we were left with a clean slate.
