First Whole House Renovation!

The new Schilling residence in Rushville, Indiana is a project. I hope to use this blog to update out of town friends and family. Every surface needs touched (that's what $29,000 will get you). We closed on June 30th. Since then we have done many walks around the inside bouncing ideas of each other. Last night my parents and the Winters did a thorough look at each room and made a game plan. I went today and took some photos of all the rooms and measured the exterior and interior. 

Note to self - measure with another person next time. Four hands are better than 2!!!

Here are the exterior photos & to-do lists...
