s A4Ouse was completely rebuilt a y Real Estate and Classified Ma rketp lace "a ! Do you have a big old house that's expensive to heat, too big for just the two of you and falling into a state of disrepair? Why not invest some money to make some money? ~ A construction com- pany in Port MeNicoll bought a big home built in 1911 and completely renovated it, making it into two spacious one bedroom apartments. The first step was to tear the building right down to the original structure. New wiring, plumbing and heating were installed with separate systems for Fan each apartment. The house was completely reinsulated and a new roof was put on. The high ceilings were lowered using ceiling tiles, in order to preserve heat. Aluminum storm win- dows were installed. The original floor plan of the house was com- pletely altered to make the apartments separate. There is an upstairs apartment and a down- stairs apartment. Both have access through the front entrance. The apartments were remodelled on a modern theme. Natural grain Litehen eunhoards new fridge and stove, linoleum and overhead fluorescent lighting were put into both kitchens. The bathrooms both got new fixtures, including tub and shower, bathroom vanity, medicine cabinet and toilet. An overhead fluorescent light was in- stalled in. each and linoleum was layed on the floor. All the rest of the floor space is covered in wall- to-wall broadloom. The overhead lights in the bedrooms and _ living rooms are a little softer for better atmosphere. To add to the comfort of the home, doorbells were put in, peep holes were put on the front door, heat coils on the roof keep water from running in from melting snow and an outdoor outlet lets the occupants plug in their cars in the winter. The house is a show place in Port MeNicoll and comfortable living for the occupants. If you have an _ in- teresting home or know someone who does, give us a call.
