Feydeau 1.0

In mid 2007 Caren and I purchased this 1,600 sq ft Central Phoenix home to remodel. The property sat empty for a year while we waited to see where trickle down economics would take us. Summer of 2008 I started gathering materials off craigslist for the remodel. Fall of 2008 I started the remodel. We moved in October 10, 2010.

It took us 3 moves in 6 years to find an area of Phoenix we liked. We started 28 miles from the center of Phoenix in a new subdivision. Next was a 1970 house 10 miles closer. Feydeau is a 1947 house 4 miles from the center of Phoenix. Along the way I confirmed I liked older homes (1947 is old by Phoenix standards) and that I do not like the endless beige of suburbia.

Feydeau turned into an experiment for us. OK, it's my grand experiment and Caren its dubious subject. We had spent three years of self reflection thinking about where we wanted to live within Phoenix. It only seemed natural to continue that progress and consider what type of home we now wanted to create.
