The new house

Well, My sister just moved into a new house, which is actually a victorian house that was "modernized" in the 1960's/1970's... and my Mom just inherited a victorian farm house that isn't too bad, but we have the huge task of going through all of the house and clearing out old paperwork/magazines/etc.. I will be definitely taking pictures of both homes before and after as the transformations take place.

My sister's house has many walls that will be knocked down, and some of the paint/designs are quite scary...

My mom's new house, the basement is MARBLE! Who the hell has a marble basement??? Well, not entirely marble, but I'm guessing that the previous owner's (I'm not mentioning names yet)father was a contracter many many many years ago, and must have gotten extra marble somewhere and used it as the floor and part of the wall. You can see where he must have been too sick to finish as the stuff to stick the marble slabs to is on one spot, but the marble to be put there is laid nicely against the wall. The rest of the basement has a coal shoot, and doors that we dont' really know where they come out at. Its a cool house, and I will have to definitely post on that one as time goes on.
