Ahhh, home improvement. So much fun. i have some finish work left to do in the master bedroom and kitchen, and a bath off the kitchen that I started on two years ago. It all started there, when I pulled out the first piece of dropped ceiling and brought a roof rafter with it. I had to rebuild the roof, the exterior wall, and a part of the floor. I redid the walls and ceiling and re-plumbed it, then moved on to the rest of the house. That means I have:
- put in two new walls and a window on the porch,
- replaced the kitchen floor, cabinets and two walls;
- did some minor work and painting in the library and dining room,
- put in four new walls and a wood ceiling in the living room,
- put in a closet, built-in bookcase/shelf, two new windows, a door and four new walls in the guest bedroom,
- put up new walls and a doorway in the hallway and stairs,
- converted a loft into a bathroom on the second floor,
- replaced the walls and put in a new ceiling in the master bedroom,
- ran ducts for the HVAC to the second floor,
- rewired about half the house
- resided two exterior walls, and
- done tons of yard work.
I have not worried about the uneven floors, but I do have some walls up to four inches out of plumb. Yeah, home improvement is fun. Maybe in a few years I'll do some more.
As for this weekend, though, I drove to Newport Friday, hiked that afternoon, camped out, put some miles on the bike on Washington Island on Saturday, did a hike and came home Sunday. Monday I vegged.
