Jon Pardi's Home Renovations

June 15th 2018

Jon Pardi recently bought a home that needed a lot of renovations. All of his free time over the past few months has been spent working on the house. Jon describes how much work had to be done, "This house was so crappy. I mean, we found codes that were broken from the last builder. We fixed a bunch of stuff. We literally went to studs, fixed all the windows. It was all the not fun, expensive stuff, but now it's awesome. It's a great kinda cabin-ish house. It has great decks. It's on 15 acres." The house is located just outside of Nashville in a town that Garth Brooks is rumoured to have a home in.
