It's been a long Fall
My house is a mess. This post can be skipped by most, nothing technical or creative or “fun” here. Just a journal on the war zone which is my home.
We’re doing a bunch of work now; work that we’ve put off for years. Last month we had our entire heating system redone. This work involved the removal of 1940’s era radiators and placing baseboard heating in their place. We also got a new boiler.
Next up is the kid’s bedrooms. We’re tearing up the carpets and sanding and finishing the hardwood floors below. I spent the weekend moving all of the furniture and knick-knacks out of their room.
For the past month, I’ve also been clearing out our entire basement. First just enough to allow the plumber to come in and work on the boiler. But now it’s completely devoid of anything; ready to be finished off for good.
I have a large-sized PODS in my driveway full of so much crap I can’t even begin to describe. We threw out a lot but I’m hoping we throw even more out when it comes time to unload that behemoth.
After the basement is finished, my family will move down there while the bathroom, kitchen, and rear extension get a major overhaul. Then, in the Spring when all of the inside work should be done, my backyard will get torn to ribbons as I have a pool installed. Goodbye grass, hello pavers. I’ll need a fence between the pool and my house, too, to keep my young ones from falling in.
I started playing with room layouts. I’m thinking about where I want ethernet jacks; where I might want power outlets; and more. Here is one of the layouts:
Notice the Wii in the corner ;-)
