What we have been working on

So just to get y'all up to speed: We closed in January (If I am remembering correctly!) Work began right away. The first modus operandus was to figure out what exactly we wanted to do! Easier said than done. Even before we closed I threw out a fleece to the God, that if Jared and I couldn't come to agreement on what we wanted, that this wasn't going to work. It was really cool because I would have an idea about something I thought would work well on the house, and then Jared would come to me with his ideas, and they would be exactly what I was thinking! This happened MANY MANY times, and in fact, it is still happening. After we sorted out what we were doing, the demo could begin. The entire kitchen was removed. Walls came down in the kitchen, the dining room, the sun room, the back room, and the upstairs sun-less room. We replaced all the windows (except the basement and the sliding glass door). We ripped up linoleum in the dining room, kitchen, and sun room. We Ripped out carpeting from the sewing room. Stripped wall paper from the living room, stairway, master bedroom and upstairs hallway. We instaled a wood stove, which we used to supplement our heating bill this winter, by burning the old lathes from demo. We literally heated our house with our house! We have had major favor at the dump, and our dumping costs haven't been no more than $100.00 to date, even with all of that demo!
The latest improvements have been wall washing, gardening, hole patching, and we now have water running to the house and to the manifold.
OK, so that's like 5 months of work! Whew, didn't realize we had accomplished so much. Journaling is good. : )
Oh, and I just realized I should be taking pictures of all of this too!
