My name is Jarret and I buy headaches.
I now introduce to you Casa Mantequilla! or House Butter if you want to know the translation... It's a long story.
This picture was obviously taken way before I got the keys since there isn't two feet of snow on the ground and -30°c.
I had a price that I wanted to hit, down payment ready and wanted something that I could do my reno thing with and turn a profit once I was sick of this town.
The lovely Barb Haas took me around to 5 places on my list of about 30 before we went here and I decided I had to offer. The place reminded me of the little houses you can rent at a resort, be it in Whistler or Mexico so I started calling it Casa Mexico or the Mexico place, the name stuck.
Previous to me looking at Casa Mantequilla the place had renters that had roughed it up and it needed work. I picked it up quite a bit under where I should have and am very happy with what I got for the price in a retardedly inflated market.
The rest of the place from the listing...
Jeep Port out front
Cramped kitchen, not pictured is punch hole marks
on the other side of that pillar on the far left of the shot.
Kitchen has got to go!
Upstairs bathroom, not pictured is a ton of broken tiles
on the floor. Mike Holmes would be dissapoint.
Master bedroom colours were obviously picked by a
colour blind Easter egg painter.
Dual entrances to the master, classy!
That lovely blue wall says something like
"Shawn was here" - Super classy!
UGH...
Not bad o'er here, the soon to be sitting room off the kitchen.
Unfourtunatley the only picture of the media room,
it is literally wired for sound. This makes the home
a one bedroom, or down the line the baddest assed
bedroom for a teenager.
Peach makes you poop happy.
Laundry will be moved upstairs so I won't
have to go up and down 40 stairs to change it.
Yay bachelor laziness!
I almost didn't get my morgtage because of this picture.
Someone made bad decisions here, osb surround on an
otherwise very shitty deck that the banks thought was an
unfinished addition. Also gots to go.
Backyard, Nova will poop here.
For reference, this is THE COMMODORE my last reno project, where I learned just how much I hated myself
