A few things we've completed:
- We straightened a floor in upstairs bedroom and added closet and bookshelves.
We remodeled the kitchen with granite countertops, new wood cupboards, and manufactured hardwood flooring.
We removed a useless coat closet in the pantry and replaced with a smaller but more useful repurposed shelving unit.
We upgraded electric to 220.
We removed a tree in the backyard and then constructed a high end bluestone patio with hottub
Long way to go yet! Trying to preserve to certain historical standards is always on our mind, though we can't always afford it or know what's best. That's how this site may help!
In coming years, we hope to overcome lack of curb appeal, paucity of indoor light, and poor insulation by
- Continued landscaping in front yard
Replace or strip the front door
Replace crumbling front steps
Straighten and replace the flooring in our small front foyer - it's sagging over 2" and has no insulation
Repaint interior walls to lighter color
Restore old windows, if that's even possible!
How and when to do things is all up in the air. Open to suggestions as we move forward with ideas and questions.
Glad to make your acquaintance here.
