Base coat of paint

Ah, yes. Live and learn.   Nevertheless, the house is looking better and better.

You are right- rehabbing a house is a special kind of challenge! I always am happy when I get to the priming stage. LOL  Feel like I am FINALLY making progress after all of the demo and repairs.

I am lucky that this house only needed a light cleaning and a good deal of sanding. A few shingles are broken, but since this will be for my daughter to play with, I'm not going to re-shingle the whole roof over 4 or 5 dinged up ones. :)

I generally only fix the broken shingles when I rehab a house....I often feel like a dentist- using my sharp little tools to loosen and cut out a single shingle. 

Looking forward to seeing your progress!
