pinkHAUS found

We found this house after a year or so of casually looking in the area for a house to buy and POSSIBLY fix up if necessary. Well, needless to say, we ended up purchasing this one with the thought that we would spend a little money and fix it up. The reason that this house appealed to us so much is that it has a great floorplan around a courtyard with a swimming pool in the middle of the house. It also sits on a full acre of land - something quite rare in Las Vegas these days.

After a lot of planning and budgeting, I drew up new floorplans, elevations, etc. to get this beast underway. The first major item was the demolition of the existing house. In hindsight it might have been easier to just bulldoze the whole thing and start from scratch, but nevertheless, we decided to keep the slab and portions of the stud walls. Here's a picture of the kitchen at the very early stage of demolition. And here's another picture of the kitchen (this side of the red pick-up) after demolition. At this point it looks like a brand new house that has recently started being framed.
