Throughout this adventure you’ll probably learn three things about me. I get bored easily, I prefer to multi-task and I finish what I start (eventually). The first two tend to get in the way of the third one as Beth can attest to when I installed hardwood floors in our old house. This is going to be a major DIY project for us, and it will really challenge us… but we’re diving in head first.
So with that in mind we have started three projects at the same time (told you). We’re going to post on the progress of each of these projects separately using categories within the blog so that you’ll be able to keep track of the progress on a single project by just filtering on that specific tag. We’re hoping this will be the best format but we’ll see how it goes.
Project #1 – Exterior
We’re really excited about this one. This should really start a massive transformation on the house.
- Scope: Replace the roof, siding, windows and doors.
- Code Name: Curb Appeal
- Project Lead: Beth
- DIY? No, we’re calling in the professionals on this one.
- Blog Category to Follow: Exterior
Project #2 – Pool
I used to be a Life Guard and Certified Pool Operator but there’s nothing in my old books about this. I don’t think shocking it with chlorine is going to cut it.
- Scope: Remove all debris from the pool, repair the pump and plumbing, replace the liner and generally get the pool functioning again.
- Code Name: Terrarium
- Project Lead: Cory
- DIY? For now…
- Blog Category to Follow: Pool
Project #3 – Upstairs
This may be broken down into three separate projects in the future.
- Scope: Gut the upstairs with new insulation, drywall, floors and re-do the bathroom.
- Code Name: Claire’s Domain
- Project Lead: Cory
- DIY? You betcha.
