Early this
morning, when I couldn’t get to sleep and REALLY REALLY did not want to fall
prey to the calling of Amazon and it’s thousands of products, I began sorting
through pictures. I recently backed up
all my photos on this computer to Google images, because someone mentioned it was
a good place to do that, so I did. I
have no opinion on this one way or the other, but, that’s what I did.
So I started
organizing pictures, particularly the home remodeling pictures. Now, you have all been so patient with me and
my remodeling stories, and kept reading when others may have said “Enough with
the remodeling stories already”. I may
have come close to burning you out, but, you stuck with me. Thank you!
This is not to
say we are done. Oh, heck no. There are so many more projects, on all four
sides of the house, that have yet to be done, but, happily, they are more along
the “final touch” projects as well as some pretty serious landscaping here and
there. It’s good, though, and I am glad.
Last night as I
went through pictures I realized we have done a tremendous amount of work, and a lot of it was not in the original plan which was something along the lines of "Hey, lets add a screen porch". It’s hard to think about when you are in the
middle of it, but, we took on some major projects. Luckily for us the bedrooms and the bathrooms
didn’t need to be touched so that side of the house was largely uninterrupted
except that it became storage central for everything that was coming out of
cabinets and rooms. Of course, now I
want to paint those bedrooms…
Anyway, here
are just a couple of pictures of the house before and the house as it is today. We still have to decide on stairs and a
railing system for the deck, and skirting under the deck and finishing off the
overhangs on both the roadside and the driveway side, but, the structure is
there. It’s been a year. A satisfying and scary year, with more ahead.
