A little over a year ago, I started this blog and listed my home improvement/repair plans for 2008. Let's check in and see how those turned out, shall we?
Replace the back door. - Complete! Well, kind of. I did indeed replace the door in July with the help of my parents and boyfriend. However, we're not yet quite done... I have the trim stained but it needs to be cut to the right size and installed, and, lacking the right saw to do so, it hasn't happened yet. And I really should put a fresh coat of paint on the door itself - I bought the paint in August but now it's too cold. I can't wait until I finish and can actually enjoy the completed result - though I've already noticed the far superior insulation compared to previous winters!
Install a utility sink in the basement. Not yet, but now that it's winter, the need is even more pressing.
Fix the two broken panes of glass on the porch. I kind of replaced one but have to redo it. The story merits its own post.
Remove the wall AC unit in the living room - a remnant of the days before central air - and replace it with a window. COMPLETE as of Monday! And it looks so much better and brighter!
Replace some windows. COMPLETE as far as my budget currently allows. Monday, I replaced three windows in the living room and both in the office, just in time for the cold snap. And yegads, what a difference.
Now to prioritize for 2009... and complete the delinquencies for 2008.
