Walk Through 12-2009 #5 and last I think :)

Entry where most of the work has taken place!





I am missing pictures of Ezra's room and the downstairs bathroom and the front porch/playroom. And pictures of the whole basement but that is a mess! Maybe more later when we have done more work on it.

Upstairs bathroom...don't think this has ever had pictures posted of it either. Very room bathroom. Cathedral ceiling with skylights claw foot tub very neat bathroom!


Hannah's room....was repainted and finished before she was born.

The upstairs...our bedroom has been done for 4 years but not sure we have ever posted pictures so here it is.


The hallway painted last spring also.
The "new" playroom down stairs and Hannah playing while Ezra is at school.
This was repainted and the chimney taken out so needed some sheetrocking in here also. A very nice and cozy room now though. One of the favorite spots in the house :)

Some more...

Living room, sheetrocked and painted behind the piano were the chimney was in the "new" playroom.




Kitchen. Don't really think much new has been done in here except blow insulation. Which keeps it much nicer in there in the winter now.


Oh course since Rachel started working from home she needed to make herself a work station so here it is in the corner of the kitchen.


Walk Through 12-2009

Now I can't remember what exactly we have done in the last year so I went through the house today and took pictures in each room.

We had an appraiser coming this spring to refinance our house so it got us moving on a few projects. We repainted the top section of the dining room for example.

New boiler in the basement. Pretty high tech and VERY nice. So far we have used 1/3 of the propane we used last year.
I'm sure the foam insulation in the basement has helped a bit also. Plus spray in insulation in the kitchen and Ezra's room were the last ones done.

Late Update Wnter 2008



Well, it seems that I only remember to do this once a year or so. Hopefully I can do better. The kids keep us pretty busy along with the never ending house project. So I am going to put up some new pictures of what we have done in the last year...I think.

Here Ezra and Rachel are painting the entry way in winter 2008....he was such a big help :)

Jacob and Christian took out the window between what use to be the entry and the new entry to combine the two.
The paint is started and the wall out.

Mudroom in progress...


The outside of our house...not quite done but looking good.
(View from the road)



The plan for the mudroom is to sand the paneling and paint it barn red :) And the other walls yellowish. Hope to start sanding on Sunday and start priming!
