Big House in Stillwater

That is Jessica standing in the foreground.  The third bedroom that I mentioned earlier is located in the part of the house next to my work truck parked beside the garage.

This pic shows a view of the front of the house.  Jessica and I actually only lived here around 4 months.  I had been accepted to graduate school at OSU, and I was actually taking graduate courses during this time.  I got a job offer for a position at Maccor.   I quit Graduate school and Jessi and I moved to Tulsa.  We lived in a rent house for around 8 months till I bought a house.

This pic shows where I have repaired a hole in the floor and the wall in the living room.  I cut them out in order to run a vent duct into the back bedroom.  It had no heating/AC duct going to it.

This pic shows how the floor had rotted out around the toilet stool.  The bathroom is so big that I opted not to replace all the lenoleum.

This next pic shows where the cornice board had rotted out.  I woke up one night and thought I had a rat in the attic.  What I found was a squirl.  I shooed it out of the attic.  I was looking around with the flash light, and I discoverd that the little bastard had chewed the plastic off of the electric lines in several place.  I was shocked that it didn't get fried.  Needless to say, I fixed the hole the next morning.

After repairing the electric lines, I added another 6 inches of insulation into the attic.  Next, I replaced all the exterior wood that was rotten.  I then ordered storm windows and intalled them over all the windows.

While Jessica and I lived here, she decided she wanted an iguana.  The cages were so expensive, so I decided to build one instead of buying her one.  Jessica is helping me build it here.

This is the cage as it presently exists.
