Hey Gents, just wanted to share with you the house my fiancé and I bought a week ago. We've been engaged about 14 months and we get married next April. The house is a first for both of us and we're very excited about the future. We demo'd the kitchen last week and now the contractors are taking over for the most part. The house is near villanova university outside Philadelphia. She is originally from this general area but this is all new to me.
Thanks for taking a look!

(btw we don't move in till the construction is done, after the wedding)
Included a pic of the future Mrs Clark too

I love the trellis with the vines, grapes? I also love me some fermented grape juice!!

mtrunner · 9 March 2012, 01:27 AM

Congrats on the upcoming wedding and the new house. It has a beautiful exterior and I am sure once the construction is done the inside is going to be amazing as well.

MonBK · 9 March 2012, 01:50 AM

Congrats.

Looks like it needs it.

nauticajoe · 9 March 2012, 01:56 AM

Congrats to both of you Mike!

I'm sure you guys are pretty excited.

mjclark32 · 9 March 2012, 03:15 AM

Thanks guys. The house was formerly owned by a 90 year old woman who didn't do any updates so it definitely needs some TLC which is costly but gives us the opportunity to make it our own.
Beautiful day to get some yard work done and have a stogie!

threemonkeys · 9 March 2012, 03:15 AM

Congratulations to you and your future wife.

Please keep us posted on your remodeling project adventure.

pacifichrono · 9 March 2012, 03:19 AM

Congrats. It looks like an outstanding candidate for renovation. It's nice you can tackle the job without having to live in it at the same time.

Best wishes!

mikecagney412 · 9 March 2012, 03:21 AM

Best of luck to you and your future wife! That house will soon become your home, alittle TLC goes a long way!

Which room is mine?

TheVTCGuy · 9 March 2012, 05:49 AM

Oh, and BTW MJ... since you're soon to be married, I'd like to help you out with some wisdom. So, here, in a condensed form, is all I know about maintaining a succesful marriage:

That was it, any questions?

gwalker · 9 March 2012, 06:13 AM

Very nice!!!!! Looks like it will be beautiful after the work is finished. I love the area as well. My fiancé went to school at Cabrini. Not too far from there.

azguy · 9 March 2012, 06:56 AM

Good for you, keep us updated, it looks like a very large project

Looks like it will be very charming! Great location you have, too. The western suburbs are so nice.

Have fun doing the renovations.

Took down those vines and the light post 20 minutes after this pic, lots of yard work to be done too. Time flies when you're pulling vines

From last Saturday, kitchen demo day. Luckily I have some college friends living in Philly to help

93 Turbo · 9 March 2012, 07:32 AM

Hey Clark, saw your earlier comment on my post, great looking house. Very nice sized piece of land you have there.

Now I have to get back to removing rubble from under my house, I feel like a miner in the 19th century. Not fun (really crappy actually) work but worth it in the long run.

Speak soon

Jules
