House Remodeling Thread (long)

[tulip]

I think it's getting close to ending. At least the big stuff. Gotta be. There's no big stuff left to do! And I'm broke!

Painting is done, to complement the new roof, new water heater, new HVAC, new electricity, new plumbing, window repair...

some before and after shots.

And the interior...whew!

Looks beautiful, Tulip. Time to take a rest!
I empathize. We took a year off from the big projects you describe. We've done almost all of them. Until we bit the bullet and had our driveway repaved, along with totally re-doing the garage floor, which had a huge crack.
I hated to spend the $, but now, as winter approaches, no more frost heaves, puddles, and large pools of ice that made my friends not want to come visit.
Except they made the annoying hill going away from the house a bit steeper!

I love this thread! I'll have to add to it once I find some good before pictures. I had some work I was planning that I wanted to do, then I had a flooded out first floor thanks to a ruptured hose to the washing machine, which led to lots of work I hadn't planned on. The after pics will be better with the before pics to compare them to.

So we did our master bath this winter. It was the original 1979 icky contractor stuff, no ventilation, so we called this bathroom "the cave" prior to the work. We also redid the dressing area with new counter top, sink, fixtures. Carpet in about two weeks...


Almost done, just have to add the doors
