Check Out Our New, Old House! Crazy or No?

They say you can take a boy out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the boy.  True!  I grew up in East Texas and still crank up the radio when old Willie comes on. I guess you can also take a boy out of the builder world, but you can’t take the builder out of the boy.  Over the last seven years, we’ve built over a hundred homes in a dozen different cities and three counties in North Texas.  Our last project two years ago was a renovation in Fort Worth’s cultural district where we gutted parts of the hosue and started over.  My amazing wife Macy and I have moved 8 times in 8 years (Here are 88 Reasons).  Fast forward a bit and we’re at it again!  This time, we are planning on staying awhile (Here is one more newer reason).  The house needs a ton of work.  Are we crazy?  I don’t know, watch this vid & you tell me!

Well what’s the verdict?  Crazy or no?  Feedback and thoughts?  Love to hear your ideas!  I’ll keep you udpated periodically as we begin and finish renovations.  Subscribe to email updates from TheWayItCouldBe.com here.  For more frequent updates, I’m sure Macy will be posting about it more often at http://TheMissilHouse@blogspot.com.

    WOW! You’re right, lots of work…however I love the charm of the place and the “period” pieces and style throughout the house. I like the honeycomb tiles in the kitchen. I hope you can salvage that! It will look really nice once it’s completed. Good Luck !! :)

    Sweet!Sounds like you could be just a few blocks from us.
    Wish our Old House was in better condition like yours is!
    Have you already moved in? Nice to have more LC’ers in the neighborhood. :)

    I left a comment on Macy’s blog – know you are far from even thinking in those terms, but just letting you know. (Does she have a subscription deal on hers? I don’t do Feeds… Forgot to ask her when I left the message.

    AND yes, Bonne Chance! May the Lord bless your efforts and give you great joy! :)
