I purchased a house a little over a year ago in Pasadena, CA. I knew it was an old house, the real estate paper work stated 1916, but after further research, I discovered it was built in 1888. My goal is to rehab the house, I want to respect it's history, but not be confined to it. I have a very small budget and will work on the house piece by piece while living in it.

The house has not been altered much since 1888, a bathroom was added, the back porch was converted into a kitchen and the electrical was improved.

It should be a long, challenging and rewarding endeavor, I hope you enjoy.
