Yesterday marked the 1-year anniversary of buying our house! Adam and I went out to dinner to celebrate all our hard work over the last year. These are the projects we've accomplished in one year's time: removing all the carpet and re-finishing the hardwood floors downstairs, installing a washer and dryer, building a fence for the dog/chicken area, building a chicken coop, building the dog pen, tons of landscaping, pruning trees and bushes, clearing a trail down below and building bridges over the creek, painting the living room and hallway, fixing up the potting shed, replacing the breaker box in the shop, turning on the second well and most of the outside faucets, replacing the toilet, removing wallpaper from guest room and painting, replacing several light fixtures, prepping our garden area, clearing roofs that hadn't been cleared off in many years, and lots of lots of cleaning especially in the basement and shop. We have many more projects to tackle and something tells me we'll be slowing down soon. It's been an amazing year (one of the best) and being home owners is an amazing feeling! (Thank goodness Adam is handy!) We absolutely love our house and knew it was the one for us (and the ONLY house we even looked at when we started shopping). We look forward to many more years to come!
