Two More Years In The Life Of

our home. Here are the highlights from the journal of our house in the last twenty-four months:

Garden shed painted green and brown. It matches the house, if you don't put the two too close together.
Installed a new railing on the stairs.
Went European on our toilet.
Reinforced the wall on the pellet shed, so we wouldn't have a mid-winter avalanche of pellets on the back porch.
Repaired french drain on rear end of house.
Bedroom closet renovation completed, and bedroom repainted. Looks fabulous.
Removed window in upstairs bathroom in order to accommodate new medicine cabinet and mirror. I don't have to lean over to shave in the mirror anymore. Huzzah!
Contractors push out front wall on first floor, adding eighty-eight square feet of new interior (kitchen table and mud room).
Stained new exterior surface with a color that might eventually go on the rest of the house.
Replaced a leaky kitchen faucet with a new one bought on the cheap after someone returned it without a non-essential part.
Added shed roof on front of house to keep storm water from leaking in the new wall.

First project for 2012: new floor in the kitchen!
