The house I renovated has been in my family from the day it was constructed in 1909. I purchased the home from my mother and father and decided to completely renovate the house. It had been a two-family rental property for the past 20 years, so it was a little neglected to say the least. I began the renovation in October of 2005 with the second floor while my fiance and I lived on the first floor. I finished the second floor along with the attic in June of 2006 and took the summer off the recharge my batteries.
