Home Projects - Part 2

Work continues on the home and we are seeing forward progress! The egress window was successfully installed and boy, does it make a difference. The light it lets in is wonderful and (when it's not 90+F outside) it's great to open the window and get some air moving downstairs.

Work has begun on the office. Everything is packed away and the door and window have been installed. We've had to adjust our plans from a set of French doors to having one door that goes out the back. Originally I was bummed but it is saving us a ton of time and money. And that's always a good thing! 

But the coolest part of this whole process thus far has been the purchase of a new fridge. This thing is huge and it's beautiful. I'm sure that like most refrigerators, it will be full and dirty fairly soon. In the meantime, though I'm going to enjoy my appliance heaven.

Next week the 100-year-old tree in the back yard will be trimmed in preparation for solar to be installed on the house. And the new deck will be installed and perhaps the house will be painted. 

Of course, this means prepping plants and what not for the crews that will be descending upon us. Whew, I'm tired just thinking about it! And, we're going to paint the office since its empty. Wish me luck!!
