They always say put the money where the water is. In other words, you as a homeowner often get the most from your remodeling dollar with work on the kitchen and on bathrooms. AJ and Kenneth smartly adhered to this rule. [ . . . ]
Bungalows :: a Look at a Lauraville bungalow (the bridge)

You have probably heard it said, The house has good bones. Good bones, typically refers to the structure of a house; it means -- the framing is solid, the house is standing upright, and that it is in good enough condition to accept whatever finish one might apply to it.
This house on Overland Ave. has good bones. Yes. In fact most houses built in that era are rock solid. These houses were built by builders - craftsmen (not to be confused with the architectural movement). Anneth, as with most houses with good bones, had pretty good skin too. [ . . . ]

And a little ways up and around the bend, packed in a short row of houses that look strangely similar, a breed of house different from the others you have just seen. There, set atop a pitching lot, the windows under a shed dormer stare. They look down on you at the street and proudly say, I am an American bungalow.
Continue to zoom, though, moving through to the other side of the front door and in through the living room, passed the dining room and into the kitchen, you might find AJ and Kenneth sipping coffee at the table in their breakfast nook. [ . . . ]

In preparation for next week's post, I have been doing some legwork, some research. I spent a few afternoons driving around Greater Lauraville snapping pictures of bungalows in the area. While I tried to include some diversity in this survey, I was also looking for repeatable house types by neighborhood.
Note: This is the first time I have worked with Picasa and it really hasn't gone as smoothly as I would have hoped. I think if you click the picture below you should be able to view a slideshow. [ . . . ]
