The Other House...

Damien has not been to our other house in about 6 weeks because he's been spending all his extra time getting the mobile home livable for us. Now that things are (somewhat) in order here, he had to go work over there this past Monday. We received a certified letter from the borough about a side porch/overhang needing to be removed or we faced a $1,000 fine. We were almost at the deadline so it needed to be taken care of.  We don't have a building permit yet but you are able to knock things down without one so that is all that was done. Enough for now to keep the borough happy (hopefully?) and keep us from getting fined (hopefully?).

Here's some photos of the house before & after. Obviously not a huge change. Our plan was to work on the inside and then tackle the outside but it seems as though we may have to do the opposite now that the borough is after us to get it done. We knew as soon as someone new owned it we would start getting into trouble so we are just trying to figure out what is best to do when. Next we are thinking we will find someone reliable to cut down a gigantic tree in the front yard that makes us very nervous. It's huge and if God forbid it ever goes down it's either going to crush our house, the neighbors house, or block the road - so we really just want to have it removed.
