My First House A work in progress
    I've tinkered with every house or apartment I've rented since I left the nest at 17. I've never really been able to enjoy making my place my own unless it was approved by the landlord, cheap enough for me to throw away, or reversible. Those days are over. I've been working non-stop on my house since I got the keys in April of 2011. One of these days I'll come up for air. Lucky for my the interior was all redone months before I bought it but I had a lot to do in the landscaping department.
