Well, I hate him too....but that's not really the issue.
My wife and I bought our house about 1.5 years ago, knowing that we were going to have things to do. But, at the time, she was also pregnant. So that kind of put the kibosh on many of the improvements we would've like to have made in the last 18 months or so due to lack of funds and the nature of the improvements we wanted to make. With Marsha being pregnant and the babe under 1 year old....we couldn't even paint!! Now that things are slowing down (relatively)......it's Tim Taylor time!!
House Mods:
1) improve water line from public water system. (we currently get about 1 gal/min volume from the 60 year old galvanized water line.)
2) replace painted hard wood floor in kitchen (yes, I said painted hard wood!!) with linoleum.
3) upgrade/update electric system in house. They were still running 100 amp service, and it ain't cuttin' it. If you try to watch TV and microwave popcorn at the same time the whole house has been known to go out!!
4) paint or re-side the outside. Probably painting, since everything above is taking higher priority.......and depending on how much $$ is left!!
X Mods:
Maybe next year!!
