There are obviously many, many other changes. I have folders and folders of photos documenting the whole thing. But I thought I'd just show you the main rooms.

Johnny is now in the process of interviewing real estate agents to put it on the market. If you know anybody in the SW suburbs of Chicago that would be interested, please don't hestitate to steer them our way! We put a lot of work into the house, from roof to crawlspace. My dad is a licensed contracter in NC, so everything was done meticulously and correctly. No slapped-up, quick-fixes here!
