4 years older. The new home I've purchased versus the one I'm living in now. It's on North Addison Street,  centrally located, close to downtown, and a total dump. And I'm loving every second of it. Think the only thing I'll be able to salvage is the hot water heater, studs, some of the original flooring and exterior.

To chronicle the move (and adventures) from Kansas City, MO to Spokane, WA and beyond.

I bought 4441 Gillham Road in early September, 2005. A breakup, house sale, and some extra cash allowed me to buy this rental, and I've spent the last 14 years fixing it up. Here's before and after pics. I'm proud of the work I've done here. But time to move on. New adventures, new old house,  and new stories. Stay tuned. ;)
