Our favorite new place


Now that they finally took down the wall between the dinning room, entryway, and living room things have really opened up. It doesn't look like much, but it makes a huge difference and the first floor appears more spacious now.

View from the dining room looking out

Even that old narrow dark hallway seems bigger now :)
Yes that metal pole is going away, we're not sure why it's still standing.

Week 21 windows and siding

Started the siding this week. The best part is the house is now fully insulated- that should make a difference in these freezing winters and humid summers. Oh and did I mention we had to put in a new (more efficient) heating and air conditioning unit? We should be set now- Roland will need to get a second job but the house will feel comfortable :)

New windows- love them!

New double window in the breakfast area-this used to be the kitchen where the sink was

Picture window at the top of the stairs- One of Roland's favorite features

Master bedroom with french doors installed finally. Yes it really is pretty much that narrow, but it goes back long enough for a walk in closet and full master bath. Why is the ceiling framed like that? .....I forgot already... something to do with a structural issue. It was either make the walls more narrow or change the ceiling- so we opted for the altered ceiling
