15^th Street House

Updates

Well, we finally did it! We found a house in Boise and have purchased it. It is on 15th street and is a craftsman bungalow that was built in 1940. We love the look and feel and want to retain most of that in any work that we do in the house. We took possession on August 18, 2008, left for the Baja and when we came back we have aggressively began some work getting it ready to move in on October 28,2008. Of course, it was ready to move into, but...we wanted to personalize it. Since there are a lot of "projects" we want to get completed, we have both been working on the house spending time outside while it's light and then moving inside once it gets dark. Check out the links below for what has been keeping us busy.
