When my fiance and I started to look at homes, we had a list of things that we wanted to find in a new home We wanted a decent sized backyard, outdoor pool, plus most importantly, a fireplace.
It’s difficult to find homes with a fireplace in this area, because the cold season is short and very mild. The area has never seen snow or temperatures colder than 45 degrees. We had to find an older home in order to get the fireplace. My fiance and I found a site that needed a lot of fixing up, and one of the greatest issues to tackle was the repairs on the fireplace. There are not a lot of companies that specialize in stone fireplace work. In fact, we had to hire a stone company to work on the brick and mortar. My fiance and I spent a lot of money to repair the fireplace. The chimney needed to be cleaned plus there was a dove’s nest at the top of the stack. When my fiance and I were finished, the fireplace looked great. My fiance and I made a lot of additional repairs to the home before we were finished with the renovation, and everything is finally coming together and we’re almost completed with the last of our projects. The dining room plus the kitchen are the last sites to see a fresh coat of paint plus new flooring. If my fiance and I ever decide to sell the house, we will be able to double our initial investment. The whole site looks good after a face lift.
