I am musing over old photos as I do a house-wide re-org and de-junking project. Looking through old photos is emotionally exhausting for me so I need to sit at the computer and have a think.
As I clean out closets and make space for all of our stuff, I think about all the work we've already put into our house. Since we moved in three years ago, we have:
1) Remodeled the entire guest house, including new tile flooring, paint, woodwork, lighting, a new bathroom, and of course added a cable line.
2) Installed a 4 x 4 foot entryway skylight.
3) Painted interior of the house (every square inch!)
4) Built a deck off of the playroom
5) Landscaped the entire back yard
6) Installed new fencing/gates around property perimeter
7) Built a chicken coop!
8) Built a pergola over the garage to give the house a bit more curb appeal
9) Scraped and painted all the exterior windows, railings etc
10) Built custom screen doors
11) Painted and repainted and repainted the master bathroom (still in progress)
12) Installed window screens for all windows (our house did not have screens. go figure)
13) Made custom Roman shades (thanks mom!)
14) Replaced the 50 year old furnace
15) Installed new playroom carpeting, and put in recessed lighting
16) Built flower beds/ landscaped side yard (still in progress)
17) Installed new sprinkler system
18) Replaced garage door springs
19) Replaced 30 year old dishwasher.
.
20) Installed skylight in guest bathroom.
21) Installed plantation shutters in the bedrooms.
Wow, what a lot of projects! I wish I had taken photos of the house when we moved in, so I could look back and remember what things used to look like. The next big project will be the kitchen and entry remodel.... we've been putting that one off for a while. Eh, maybe in another 3 years.
Ok, back to work.
