The Diary of our purchase of a foreclosed house in Winter Park, Florida. Did we get a good deal? How much work is it going to take? Will we survive the repairs and updates?
This is our story.
The pool is a huge 20 feet wide by 37 feet long. The deck around it needs a good cleaning, and we will eventually widen the deck on the far side of the pool to accomodate a few chairs. The pool deck is currently too narrow. The wiring to the pool motor is substandard and currently unsafe and will have to be updated.
Right now the back porch looks like it belongs in a tenement. This area will eventually become the jewel of the house. It is a very large 34'x16' under roof. The master bedroom, dining room, kitchen, family room, and a bathroom all have direct access to the porch. The screens are all shot, the floor is black with mold and the porch ceiling is moldy.
