Whoever built my house entirely liked the idea of it looking like a farmhouse; The flooring was all brown rug.
The ceilings are wood.
The exterior is a rusty yellow. The worst was the brick pad that housed a wood stove right in the middle of the residing room, however i made a lot of swings to the apartment to ensure that it looked more modern. The brown rug got ripped up plus changed to gray tile. The wood walls were sanded plus painted white. I removed the brick pad plus had the woodstove taken out. It was vented to the ceiling plus upt ot the roof! Sadly once I removed the woodstove, I started having an issue with leaks, however right where the vent was, I was getting a little bit of water. I kept trying to repair it on my own; Frequently I would get out my sizable ladder plus caulk around the area. I then tried liquid brick to see if that would do the trick, no dice. I hated to do it, even though I had to call a roofing business. I needed a roofing repair stat. I can’t know I waited so long too. The roofers fixed up the roof in a matter of hours. It hasn’t leaked since. I don’t know what they did exactly, even though I am guessing they used hardier stuff than I did. I am just thankful I didn’t ruin my house by removing that wood stove. I am quite a bit of money in the hole over all the replaces I made. I also didn’t budget a roofing repair. I am just blissful that everything is sorted away though.
