The Past 9 Months

There have been many things happening around the house since we last posted, here are a few before and after shots:

The bow window in the front was old and not very efficient, so we replaced it with three double hung windows. Luckily the big hole in the house was closed up in one day:

Dan demolished the ugly wall in the front of the house and took down one pine tree. Now we can see out of our house! We needed a place to put all of the dirt removed from the back patio, so we landscaped around the three trees in the front, new plants and edging.

We added a patio in the backyard and did a lot of landscaping. As you can see, there was nothing there to start with, just a few lonely shrubs. It was a major task for one man, but we (o.k. Dan) did it and we enjoy it everyday.








New slate tile in the hallway, it was an awesome orange carpet from 1975!

The front door was also old and very dark with no windows, so we changed to something a little more modern:

These are the big projects happening around the house. We continue to finish painting trim, walls and finishing many other projects that just never got done. Hopefully we can finish the outside projects before the snow arrives.
