The time certainly has flown by. It seems like the projects we have finished always end up taking more time than expected, but when I look back over the year, I realize just how much we have accomplished.
We finished a major basement renovation, starting with this:
We totally gutted it:
And ended with this:
Meanwhile, we had close encounters with local wildlife (Mr. Rocky Raccoon chillin' above the window).
We also found some wickedly awesome mouse skeletons in the walls.
We installed a new fridge, range, microwave, ...
...and dishwasher.
We built a garden.
We tore down our old deck. (BTW, huge update on the deck construction progress coming soon!!)
We installed 2 new windows, ...
... and 3 new exterior doors.
We painted all our exterior windows.
We got new siding and a new roof.
We painted our door blue.
We (almost) built a new deck.
Anyway, I'm happy with our progress this year!! Things are looking quite a bit different around here than they did when we moved in. I love finishing a project and being able to step back and see the result of all that hard work. A huge thanks goes to everyone who helped with projects over the past year, in particular my dad, without whom almost none of this would have happened.
