The Portland house was "move in ready" and did not need anything..... so we remodeled it a lot in the ten years we were there.
The windows in the bedroom were replaced and bumped out to provide wide window sills. We gutted the kitchen. The landscaping in both front and back was redone. And we build an office in the back and redid the back deck. Other than that it was "move in ready"...
We did get a great article on the HOUZZ.com website. You can easily ready a copy HERE.
