On Being Homeowners. . .

 As of September 21st, we had this house for 1 whole year! Can you believe we didn't burn it down!!! ;-) I've realized how much work we put into it since the day we got it. 

1.  Had a new sewer line put in (we had no option since we have a "party-line" and the city made us disconnect it... looong story, but it's all fixed now)

2.  New windows

3.  New doors (RED front door!!! :-D)

4.  Insulated the crawlspace

5.  New siding and paint

6.  New front decking

7.  FINALLY put tiling in the shower

And that's not counting the minor projects we had inside like painting and such. 

I'm proud of us.  And I hope we don't have to do anything major for a long long time.

AFTER

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of when we just bought it for comparison.  But the white strip on the driveway is from the new sewer line.  Note, we got rid of the ugly carport.  I don't have recent pictures but we have a new front decking and small walkway to the driveway.  Having construction all throughout summer, we didn't keep up on our landscaping/gardening.  Hopefully next year will be different.
