I am happy to report that renovations have not consumed my budget or my marriage. The latter I was very worried about when I walked into our local gun supermart looking for something ladylike yet deadly.

But I digress… behold the updated list of doom.

  1. Replacing electrical wring in house. Going from aluminum to copper.
  2. Reroof
  3. New garage door with automajic opening one. (Yea a use for those buttons in my car!)
  4. Replace attic insulation
  5. Help sick tree in front yard
  6. Dry wall family room, taking down dark 70s paneling
  7. Replace wall trim throughout the house
  8. Paint.Every.Single.Room.
  9. Fix outside front yard light.
  10. Replace the windows.
  11. Resod the yard.
  12. Put a shed in the backyard so we can reclaim the garage to use as a.. um.. garage.
  13. Make the driveway bigger.

<—–Behold the new gutters. Well, part of them. They match where ever they are. They also work. It rained last night and we sat on our front porch, drank adult beverages and watched/heard the rain fall down the gutters and pool at the sides of the house. Next, french drains.. whatever that means. It’s a hubby term.
