348 Beach

Here are some photos of my house. I originally renovated this house in 2010 or so.

Then, after an incredibly destructive tenant moved out, I redid lots of that stuff and did more too (i.e., I treated additional floor coverings that I did not include during the first renovation).

These photos are from 2020. Some of them were taken after a tenant moved in. Some of them were taken before the house was completely done.
