Progress has begun

As we've been wrestling with our decision whether to buy a new house or stay.....we finally made the first step towards getting this place back in shape.

We'd love a new house with a pool, but for now we're going to wait and see how much we love our house after we get it all fixed up.  We are so close to having the house paid off, we hate the thought of starting another mortgage.  We've also discussed doing minor renovations and renting out this house and moving.

But as of right now......we've started moving this house out of the 1980's and into the 2000's.

We had two different companies come out today and quote us to do new siding, new roof, new gutters, windows, and a new storm door.

Once we've picked the right company to do the job.....we begin the process of picking colors, picking siding, picking shingles, picking the type of gutters, picking out a storm door.
 

Can't wait to see it once we're done.  This will pretty much take care of the entire exterior of our house.  We'll have to work on some landscaping after that and get rid of the ugly backyard.

After all that is done......we begin the task of 3 bathrooms remodeled, all rooms painted, new carpeting upstairs and the stairs, kitchen remodel, new tile and wood floors downstairs, and new furniture.  Don't have much on that list at all......NOT!  We're pretty much going to have a brand new house once we're done.

So many things to do and so many decisions to be made both personally and professionally.  Sometimes I just don't want to think about anything important.

Well.....back to work
