I have had a few people ask me "What is Lacey?" so here is a shortened version. John and I purchased a tri-plex in June 2007. It used to be a single family dwelling, so the first thing we did was convert it back to that. It was built in 1911; 2-story home with complete full basement. It is situated on a lot and 1/2. There are 5 bedrooms (4 up, 1 main) and 3 bathrooms. Built in china cupboard in kitchen and dining rooms. Front room has 2 sets of pocket doors. Dining room has bay windows. Ceilings are 9 feet? 10 feet? Anyway, they are very tall. All the windows are the old pulley kind and they all still work! Front entrance has a full length built in bench that the banister and staircase overlook. Rooms are huge and house has character. So now we are fixing it up. New wiring, new plumbing, insulation, 6 foot fence, restoring wood floors, painting, carpeting, completely gutting and redoing all 3 bathrooms and completely gutting the kitchen. It is a ton of work (for John as he is the one doing the majority of this). Know anyone that needs a home?
