BMJ - the title of this blog, is also the short form of what we named our house. Yes, we have a tendency to name a lot of our stuff, which you'll come to learn.
BMJ came into our lives June 2nd, 2006. Its been 3 months and we are still in love. It's a quaint little character home. Although its on a standard lot and just under 2000 sq.ft., it feels like BMJ is smallest house on the block (just look at that the monster house beside us!) but I'd say its the most charming house (a bit biased here)!
A few features:
- 2 levels, 2 bedrooms down and 1 bedroom up
- 2 full baths
- white picket fence along the front of the house
- original fireplace
- 3 tiered deck and very large garden in the back
For the last 3 months we've been working hard at renovating the place to our own style. Its been fun and very rewarding but also very very tiring. But I have to admit, even if we had the money, I wouldn't pay for someone to do the stuff that we're doing. We really do feel like this is our home and we're going to put our heart and soul into fixing it up and taking care of it. Corney, I know! Luckily all of our renos are basically cosmetic. Structurally all is good, the roof is almost 4 years old and all that other important stuff like plumbing etc. is all in good standing.
