Project Provo

It's a pleasure to see the beautiful homes that have been cared for and restored. Unfortunately, sometimes right next door to a well cared for house, there is one that has obviously been a rental unit for years. If you've ever been in the market for a rental unit, you know that the inside of these houses match the outside. Every time I see or live in a house in such state I dream about the changes that could be made. This blog is an exposé of those houses in Provo that need to be fixed up.

Shocking!

Just thought I'd add that this switch is above a door.

Duct Duct Goose

Ok Ok, so the owners of this house had to make the heating separate for the upstairs and downstairs apartments for the house to legally be a duplex. There's one of these in each of the rooms in this basement apartment.

Was a slab of wood really the best option?!

Hole-y Somewhere

Ok, so I know there's not a hole visible in this picture, but I figure there's got to be a hole somewhere causing this ripple effect. Another note about this picture: This wall is in a basement and it's made of fake wood paneling which was then wall paper-ed over, which was then painted over...multiple times. Add water damage, and you've got the recipe for a wonderful wall.

Caption says: Fake wood paneling + wall paper + several coats of paint + water damage = squishy

Dumb Plumbing

This was an affixed soap dish in a house my sister lived in in Provo. I realize it's not exactly plumbing, but it's above some plumbing! :-P They took a picture of it before they removed it and threw it away in case their landlord ever asked about it. He never did.
