Yeah. I really like it. Only bad thing is I have a pillow top mattress and I'm short so Its fun getting in and out of but oh well. Looks good and its comfortable.
Thanks Vic.
Just read through the entire thread, very nice job man the house looks a million times better. Be thankful your dad knows what he does and is willing to help you out! Ive been living in my new house for 2 months now and havent really started working on it yet due to right to redemption since it was a foreclosure. Going to wait a year then start getting some work done. Again, nice job!

Thanks man. I actually didn't live in for over a year while I renovated. Wanted to get the main part of the house done so I didn't have to deal with it later.

So I haven't updated this for a while. Been doing some work in the last few weeks. Don't have any pictures but got pot lights installed in the hall so I can see.
Moved the utility sink, put in all new copper lines, new faucet, outdoor faucet, washer hookup box, dryer vent tube and outside cover, and PVC pipes
Insulated the attic
Hung my outdoor speakers on the deck and hooked them up to my surround sound.
Been working on cleaning up the back yard. Cleared some limbs of the house without hitting the house. Just a slow process back there. Finally got my dad's chainsaw and chipper shredder this weekend so I can move faster on it.

Where in Cincy are you located?
As of right now I live in Bond Hill because my mom pays like $300 a month rent on a house my Great Uncle owns, but because her and her bf both work up north they are looking to move up to West Chester. This whole moving kinda sucks for me because I got to UC and I don't have the funds to move out so my trip to school is going to take forever now.
just got into this thread again, have you thought about stripping the rafters in the living room? you have such nice floors, it would go really well stripping them and finishing them. also in your utility room, that is a very interesting p-trap you have installed, what was the reason for the design and not buying a standard p-trap kit?
oh never mind i see why its like that... its exterior. are those valves exposed or in the wall? i am curious to why you put them there?

I wish I could strip the rafters. They are just foam though so I can't do that. Wish I could though. I am honestly not a fan of them so down the road they may come down anyway. Yeah, it is on an external wall. It looks goofy cause it comes down and the cold splits and goes to the outside faucet, the washer, and the utility sink. A lot going on in that little area but it works well. Have the washer and dryer in there on an angle.

Little update. Had 9 trees taken down today for only $800. Can't complain at all. I told them to just drop them and cut them to firewood size pieces. Said they would be back Monday for a bit. Not sure if they will stack in anywhere or what but for $800 and 9 trees I can't complain if they don't.
Toward the beginning
Oh, don't mine me. Just climbing a tree...
All down
And by days end. They will be back Monday to finish a few things up.

why did they come down
More usable space and easier to mainain I would suspect.
And damn import you could have a pond dug back there too lol
trees increase property value, lower energy bills, and those trees didnt seem to be "in the way", but its not my property.

Took a few out cause they were close to the house and I am in need of a new roof soon. A few were taken out cause they were dead. Nothing was taken due to space.
I could have a pond but I don't really want the maintenance. I have a hot tub that has sat in my garage not hooked up for almost 2 years cause I don't want the maintenance or added utility costs.
build it

If you are looking for cheap, yes. I don't remember the price but I know mine was expensive. I don't think they would be that hard to build either.
I plan on it unless I find a nice one thats a lil cheap on craigslist.
Yeah I went to IKEA and they are $200+ w/o the slats and none of them are exactly what I am looking for a found a leather one on craigslist for $200 but I still don't think I wanna pay that much lol So I was thinking about building it myself and then wrapping it in leather or a synthetic leather.
