Well being in our new home, the house isn't new, but new to us... We moved in last August... We have since moved in, new hardwood on first floor, new toilet in main bathroom, well only bathroom at that time.. Painted all kitchen cupboards, ripped out a china cabinet that was screwed to the wall... Refinished the Wall, and put our new fridge there, and ran a water line to it... Had a cement porch put in, which I am going to put a glass railing on it next year... Lorie and I built a deck 12X16 and then installed a 10 X10 Gazebo on it... We put in new windows. Put new baseboards in throughout 1st floor... Put the new 85" Tv on the wall downstairs... And installed a toilet and tub downstairs, still have to put the vanity and walls up in that bathroom. Painted all the shutters, well 2 left in the back of the house, painted all main doors going out side, and garage and workshop door...
We also ran new water lines in pex... Made $400 from the copper I ripped out of the house. Thats the stand I built for the bathtub, the reason it's up off the floor is because we are on septic, so instead of digging a hole... I put in a sani-flow system, which pumps the water up to the septic... Much easier then breaking up a floor, and then having to recement it... The reason I put a tub in the basement is because the house only came with a shower, and my wife my wife loves her tubby time... And as we all know... a Happy Wife, and Happy Life...
So, The things I have left to do is, seal the cement porch, and gazebo before winter... Do some body work on my trusty ford pickup... This winter I am going to finish bathroom downstairs, put the new modern plugs though out the house, did all the light switches.. Start ripping down the walls in the shop, and get the drywall up, so I can start mudding in the spring...
Hope I didn't ramble too much...
