2008: A Year in Review

Here's a quick executive summary on the projects we tackled this past year. It's exciting to see all the progress we've made, yet a teeny bit overwhelming with what's still to be done.

Spruced up the atrium.

Gutted the kids' bathroom

Cleared out the backyard

Installed new exterior lights

Planted bamboo

Installed new house numbers

Fixed downspouts

Installed more exterior lights

Painted exterior

Built new flower beds

... and nearly finished the bathroom! The drywall is done, cabinets are ready to install, tile is up. Just need to get the floor installed so we can put it all in.

More Lights!

With the body paint on the house we were able to install the rest of our outdoor lights. Steve installed 3 more lights on the west/northwest sides of the house. These are the single shade version of the double-shade light we installed on the front of the house.

Outside lighting installed:
1) Dining room slider
1) Family room slider
1) Kitchen slider




When we renovate the master bedroom and bathroom we will install a light outside the bedroom slider and one outside the bathroom door... I know, it's kinda strange to have a door in the bathroom, but it comes in really handy with the pool/kid combo!
