Project House: A 1974 Ranch

This is what happens when I get bored. I go out and find something to do. In this case, I went out and found a house built the same year that I was. It was added onto and redone in the 80s (oh decade of dastardly remodeling deeds!) I love mid-century houses though and plan to take this one back to it's glory days.
My first official act as owner was to rip off the period inappropriate shutters. My husband's was to tear down the garage that was blocking drainage and access to the back yard.
