We started our yearly projects by remodeling our front bathroom. Mind you, "we" didn't do it. We are done with spending never ending hours on house projects, and decided that sometimes it's better just to hire someone. For the bathroom, I found someone on Craigslist (John & John), they did EVERYTHING for $1,650. It was so cool that in a week, I had a new bathroom!
Speaking of Craigslist, I also got my horrible sun-stealing awning taken down for FREE through Craigslist. (I don't have a "after" picture yet)
Well, our BIG project this year was the backyard. After over 6yrs of living with a swamp of a backyard, we finally put drain tile in. Well, drain tile, along with a POOL! Yup, we took the plunge, and got a pool. I am enjoying it very much, and when we get the deck to go along with it next year, it will be even better!
It's AMAZING the difference!!!! Even though our yard is smaller because of the pool, it seems SO big because we can actually use the space now! There was 10" of standing water when the "fixers" started working on the yard. It took them over 3 weeks, and truckloads of stone and topsoil and 2 pallets of sod. We've never been able to use our yard until now, and though it cost a lot of money, I'm SOOOO happy!!!
