Hmmm, I still can't decide if I have quite enough projects going, so this past week Chad and I decided to add some more. We came to the conclusion that if we waited for the time to be right for the mega-remodel, that we'd just never do it. So, without further ado, we've jumped into planning the remodel. The kitchen and two full baths, possibly adding on to the back of the house, some structural correction, and if I have my way - a back deck too.
And when I say kitchen and two baths, I don't mean in any way that there is anything about any of these rooms that's in the least bit salvageable. From the ceiling to the floor and everything in between, including wiring and plumbing, these rooms are a disaster. So, we'll be gutting and starting fresh. This past year my neighborhood became an historically protected neighborhood so now there are all these extra steps that we'll have to go through (ultimately a very good thing, but right now a royal pain in the ass.) Undoubtedly, I'll update you from time to time on my progress (read: spew expletives.)
So, here is the current project list:
- Meet with Historic Preservation Commission
- Meet with financial advisor
- Meet with mortgage broker
- Identify several potential contractors
- Meet with contractors
- Hire contractor
- Set schedule for remodel
- one knit baby doll coat
- one knit afghan (well, half of one anyway)
- one knit baby blanket
- one knit child's sweater
- one felted evening bag
- two felt advent calendars (approx 3 feet tall each!)
- four necklaces
- one mother's bracelet
- wrap approximately 20 Christmas gifts
- Keira's first scrapbook
- At least 5 photo albums worth of photos to organize
- sew a shirt
- sew curtains
- paint my bedroom
- redecorate my bedroom
- install one new set of built-in cabinets
- clean up, refresh, and mulch 2 more flower beds
- tear out two beds, augment the soil, and replant
