– Well it’s definitely historic. Look at these ceilings.
– What the heck? This is not what I was expecting
– The floors, we need to patch them.
– Put laminate on them.
– No way. There’s no way we can do laminate.
– What’s on the other side of this wall is my question. Because this should actually be much bigger
– It’s a sad, little makeshift wall.
– Yeah, I know
– I think this was a bedroom on this side?
– Well, so, this would be all open and it would be one huge family room?
– Man, this is a huge kitchen for this size house
– It’s weird though … I mean
– Weird layout
– Tell me we’re allowed to replace the cabinets and we’re not restoring them
– It’s better if we restore them but I’m with you on redoing them
– We just have to make them look like they’ve been here for 100 years
– So this is the main bath for the other two bedrooms, so we have to make it more comfortable. Vanity, countertop space…
– Yeah. Just completely redo it.
– Come check out the master.
– Oh wow. Look at how big this is.
– Oh wow.
– Original windows, cool cross pattern on it.
– Yeah, houses from this era never have a master this big, ever.
– Man, look at the size of this master bathroom!
– Holy crap!
– Oh look, even has vaulted ceilings.
– Wow, this shower is huge! Are you kidding me?
– So, I already own the house. I would need to know if you guys are in.
– Okay. So here’s what I have to do. I have to call my contractor, have him come out and inspect the property, not only cosmetic but structural. It’s an old house, and I can make a decision then.
