Renovations Are Fun!




The "before" shot of our walkway. I realized, after I started to look for pics, that I only have a handful of pictures that show the front step.....could it be thats because it's soooo ugly? This was the best one I could find and it still does not do it justice....does not show the crooked, uneven steps or the wood rot...........lol It does include a pic of Claire on the first day of kindergarten though, so it's all good, don't you think?



The finished result.............amazing, beautiful and more wonderful than I could've hoped for. The best part was that Adam and I didn't have to lift a shovel of dirt to make this happen.




A shot leading up to the front door. Please ignore the "not so great" door frame and door. We have ordered a new one from Pella Windows and it is due for install in about 2 weeks. This will complete the reno and hopefully provide better insulation during the colder months.





One last look...........This was early in the spring. Now the garden is lush and beautiful. Planted some great grass in front of the gas metre which completely hides it for 3 of 4 seasons.


Stay tuned........................lower level bathroom reno scheduled to begin this December.............this one we are doing ourselves as no bobcats are required. lol
