September

lisa September 23rd, 2002

We’ve just finished applying for a home equity line of credit so we can hire some people to get some work done. Cold weather is coming very, very soon and we have to get the walls insulated and re-plastered before it gets cold.

All our kitchen appliances have been acquired, and we got some really good bargains (yay, eBay!). We also scored a great deal on a huge old bow window (free) and a smaller, newer Andersen bay window (eBay) for the back of the house. Still have to acquire the sliding glass door, decide on what kind of flooring to put down in the kitchen (ceramic tile? slate? cork?), and get another sink and a dishwasher.

We have almost finished the work in the basement - took a year to jack the house up completely, but it’s done. Five of the eight lally columns (the permanent supports) are installed. A little more concrete work on the front foundation and we’ll be totally done with this phase of the house renovation!
