What a nifty thread. This summer, while I was pregnant, we decided to fix up the house a bit in anticipation of the baby, so the house would be warm and cozy for her. The roof had been leaking, so we had to get that replaced, and was the catalyst behind the extravagant sum of money we had to borrow. While I was at it, though, I got enough money to do some other improvements. So here's what we have done so far and what is yet to do:
Replaced the roof
Had a new furnace installed
Bought a new snowblower in anticipation of the fabulous winter we will have
Was going to replace a few windows, but our window guy hurt his hand, so we are waiting til the spring.
Looking into getting wall-to-wall carpeting - I HATE hard wood floors.
Would like to get new living room furniture, but will probably run out of money
Plan to get a new storm door for the front door - one of the glass panes broke, so we have the screen in it still.
Damn - there is much much more I would love to do with this house, but when the money is gone, that's it for now.
