The former owners put a new roof on the house...on all of the house but the bump out I love in the dining room.With all the rain we've been having, we sprang a leak. Luckily, our contractor was on his way over and was able to seal it off for now with a little trusty visqueen. That stuff is my new favorite thing!
This may look like a whole in the wall to you, but to me it looks like a future electrical outlet, where I can plug in my laptop without having to run an extension cord halfway across the living room. Hurray!
Every light switch in the house is at a different height. So when the lights are actually working, you never know where you to reach to turn them on. Just one more reason I can't wait for the house to be rewired!
After nearly two months, the little guy's still standing -- and strong enough to hold not one, but TWO Christmas ornaments.That's more than can be said for the roses we transplanted...
We thought our tree would fit in the bump out in the dining room, but it's a tad too tall and I refuse to top it!
This is our new electrical panel. It's pretty ugly, but when we redo the siding we plan to hide it in a little box that matches the house. Not sure how much of the ugly tube leading out of it that we'll be able to conceal, though.As soon as the city signs off on the installation of the panel, our contractor can start rewiring the house. Ceiling lights, anyone? Woo-hoo!
Both our front and back doors have these "security" gates/screen doors that are totally ghetto. We can't take the one off the back door because it's the only door there.When the cold snap hit, we had to cover it with visqueen so we could turn on our oh-so-lovely heater.
What an improvement!
