Some background...

A friendly face to shower with

Amy:

So a little background on our purchase is probably in order. We found this mess of a house on Corcoran last summer. We latched on to Mr. & Ms. Architect and Mr. Contractor almost immediately, and figured that right about now, summer of 2006, we’d be moving in to our new, finished, beautiful palace. And the Gods of Real Estate said: “Ha!”

We finally completed the purchase a couple months ago.

The previous owner had split the house up into two duplexes. The upper duplex isn’t in terrible shape, although it’s bad enough that I’m not looking forward to living up there during the first part of the renovation.

The lower duplex was a de facto SRO. There were padlocks on every door and all the various people who lived there shared the kitchen and one bathroom.
