Significant issues we know need to be resolved sooner than later:

  • Roof replacement
  • Basement seepage issue during heavy rain
  • Replace two wooden floor supports with brick and masonry
  • Replace rotten wood on the exterior
  • Paint exterior

Projects we want to finish sooner than later:

  • Complete remodel of the kitchen
  • Backyard fence
  • Get at least one fireplace working (gas logs)
  • Ground the ungrounded outlets
  • Whole house water filtration system
  • Hot water recirculation system (so we don’t have to run it forever before it warms up)

Major projects we want to do later(ish):

  • Add built-in bookcases to the library/office
  • Remodel bathrooms
  • Expand upstairs bathroom
  • Make attic a usable space
  • Brick or concrete the carport floor

Minor projects to do as we can (really too many to list):

  • Replace ceiling fans
  • Add ceiling fans to living room, bedrooms, and den
  • Add plaster ceiling medallions to a couple of rooms
  • Paint all rooms
  • Make Chelsea a dressing room from one of the current bedrooms
  • Add panel moulding to the living room
  • Replace some of the lightswitches with push type reproductions
  • Replace A/C vent covers with something more period appropriate
  • Etc.
