Hi, everyone! It’s been quite a while since I was active in the forums, but here I am! We bought our 1916 bungalow in 2016, and have done extensive work to bring her back to life. Last summer (thanks to a massive hailstorm), we were finally able to remove the old aluminum siding and restore the original clapboards, window trim, and decorative brackets on the house. Here’s what she looked like when we bought her four years ago:

And here she is now:

Of course, now that we’ve done all this work, we’re looking at saying goodbye to this giant sprawl of an old house and saying hello to a new one. We’re hoping to move within the next few months to the town where I work, and we have our eye on a 1900 folk Victorian that we viewed this week. Can’t wait to show you pics of that one!
