Our Home Makeover

I'll say this about the Boston real estate market - it's great if you're ALREADY IN IT. Here's a look at our recent home makeover project. We will be converting this two-family house in Boston to condominiums, eventually selling each unit for more than we paid for the whole house in 1999. Doubling our money in five years ain't too shabby.

BEFORE (and this was the "good" side - with the fewest warped or missing shingles)



AFTER (actually more of a "during" picture, as there is still some painting and touch-up work remaining)



Now if I could just get John Kerry to make a few phone calls and have the fire hydrant moved.
