Before and afters of turning our formerly abandoned 1927 Detroit home into forever home. Vacant for 7 years prior to start.

More pics @between6and7 on insta. We purchased our home in 2016 after it had suffered 7+ years of vacancy due to the previous owner having health issues and moving into assisted living. We have been working on and off on it since then, but about 5 years total on its resto/reno.

Started with no heat, water, or electrical, and burst pipes having taken out about 30% of the interior. We’ve restored all the original windows, restored the steam heat system, completely upgraded electrical wherever possible, and all new plumbing. Took us about a year to complete the original 3 floor interior before we could move in with help of a father/son carpentry team and ourselves doing whatever didn’t require permits. Exterior, landscaping, hardscaping, new garage, sunroom, and mudroom took about 3.5 years over COVID. The final frontier is the basement, which has beautiful terrazzo floors, full height windows looking toward the double lot, plaster walls and ceiling, and an electric fire.

We documented everything in a monthly blog at www.between6and7.com if you’re interested in reading the whole journey, including in-depth historical research on the homes original owners… but I’m happy to answer questions about our journey, process, and learnings!

Castle Hill - Ruggles, Ohio

Built in 1878 Charles Crittenden began construction of Castle Hill March 13, 1878, with a detailed "article of agreement" with builder David Myers, Wayne County. The pact used the home of John Flukes as a guideline. It specified such materials as "the best Vermont slate" for the roof, certain styles of flues, plaster and woodworking, brass fixtures, porcelain doorknobs and indoor shutters at every window. A central feature of the house is the mansard roofed tower which rises above the northeast corner over the main entrance. There is an unusual amount of carved wood ornamentation around the windows and the bracketed cornices. The 15-room house with its 10-foot ceilings was built for $2,700. The tower pediments and decks on the roof were added in another agreement in August of that same year, at an additional cost of $425. The structure, highlighted by an open stairway that makes one complete spiral from the ground floor to the top of the tower, was finished in 1880. The house sits upon a 660-acre farm originally owned by Nezer Sutherland who is buried in a small family cemetery on the grounds.

I've started work on a book to help with urban explorers exploring abandoned buildings. It will include tips on how to find locations, address frequently asked questions and general knowledge I've acquired throughout the years.

I've just started the outline and details of what I want the book to become and I'm very excited. Between my job and writing it between my free time I have no ETA when it will be published but I hope it'll be useful to some of you in the future.

Gunkanjima - Jordy Meow

This fortress island has been abandoned since 1974. Designated as UNESCO World Heritage in 2015, the site is now protected and only a tiny, uninteresting section is accessible to visitors. The rest of the island is totally out of bounds.
