It's been a very long time since I've visited this blog but the time has come to start again. We have recently bought our first home and we moved in a little over a week ago. A move right before Christmas wouldn't be too bad if it was a short distance or if the house was move-in ready. We had neither of those condition. However, things worked out well and we all had a great Christmas and we really didn't need all of the things that we used to 'need'.
With the festivities over (well, we still have New Years) we've been busy making the house into our own. Starting with the easy things, we've been painting - a lot. We have been taking before and after shots and the plan is to share them here.
Over time our plan is to paint everything, refinish the hardwood flooring, install a new furnace, install an airtight fireplace insert, move the kitchen, redo the bathroom, re-insulate the exterior walls, finish the basement. (Some work was already started but it looks like it was improperly done. We'll be removing what needs to be removed and starting over.) Of course, I'll be doing gardening too.
It's going to take some time as it will depend on finances and the time we have available to do the work. It will be exciting to see the transformation. I can tell you one thing, I'm so glad I got rid of a lot of my clutter last year. There's still a lot to get rid of but it could be worse.
