130 year old house in disrepair. Since we moved in Sept 20th we have:
- scraped and painted ALOT of trim
- had floors in first floor sanded and refinished
- relocated door from side of the house in the rear to the back of the house (french door)
- The new door needed a deck to open onto so a rockin' solid deck was built on 6X6 posts and cantaleavered off of house
- mudroom completely gutted and redone as a laundry room/mudroom/storage area/pantry
- added new cabinets to kitchen for more storage
- Granite countertops and a deep rectangular chefs sink along with all new plumbing into basement
- 200 amp service along with several new runs into kitchen for appliances not made in the early 1900's
- repair flooring on second floor and install carpet on stairs, 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd floor, and hallway and master bedroom and daughters room.
- Turn small bedroom on 2nd floor into a walk in closet with matching built ins
- Ceiling fans in every room except for the bathroom and dining room.
- have exterior of the house repainted, and windows rewrapped in new coated flashing
- Scrape and repaint wraparound front porch shipshape siding and wood around windows.
- Replace wood around front door and make some pretty impressive trim work above door.
- Install all new lighting in kitchen, mudroom, on the back deck and wraparound front porch.
- widen steps onto rear deck (went from 3ft to 4 ft. I wanted 5ft. but was overruled. Pick your battles)
- Paint every room.
- Route cable from basement to 4th floor and then to all bedrooms and 3rd floor office/guestroom/sitting room
- Gut 2nd floor bathroom to studs (lathe and plaster walls and tile) and redo the walls and lower walls with beadboard .
- Bathroom gets new lighting, toilet, vanity and medicine cabinet and tile in shower area and on the floor.
- powder room on first floor gets new toilet and vanity.
- Now comes the good part......boat storage/garage!! After I get the old barn torn down!
Now its time to play for a month or so. Florida maybe. Doubt it but it would be nice.
