Today begins our family's adventures in the house we fondly refer to as the "Wow" House. "Wow" House is a Courtyard or Patio house built in 1970, featuring a 525 sq. ft center courtyard and a 250 sq ft. courtyard between the master and guest room. Imagine a 58' by 58' ft. square with the center cut-out, and that is pretty much the footprint of the house.
Lucky for us, the owners built it, loved it and did no major renovations during the 37 years they lived there. So, we are not faced with any cruel or unusual upgrades to undo. But it needs work...a lot of work.
So the adventure begins.
Step 1: Since all materials from the courtyards must be moved, carried or carted out through the house, we start there, before the floor refinishing. Plans include a pond in each courtyard- that is after 1500+ bricks are carted out and 6 concrete pads are broken up and removed.
So Stay tuned
