Spring Has Sprung

And just like that...winter is finally gone. Well, not completely, but we're mostly there. Two months blew by since my last post, and we've managed to do the following (along with plan the upcoming wedding and attend to general life things).

We got a new front door.


It will soon be painted green to match the lattice on the bottom of our front porch. Here's a shot of the pattern in the glass from the inside:


Mike finished the basement doors. Check the previous post for the "before" pictures.



We installed three of the four glass block windows. Window number four (seen at far left in this image) is going to be tricky. After installing three windows, we've decided to pay someone else to do the last one.


We hung up our flag and porch numbers, on the porch that is 99% completed:


And though you can't see them, we planted rosebushes in front of the lattice. We hope to someday have plants that don't look like dead sticks.



We had our upstairs bathroom rewired, and we installed drywall (XP board) and a fan/light on the ceiling. I'm really excited to have a ceiling again. We may even have walls again soon.






And we finally carried the foosball table from the garage into the attic/office. Next we will plug in the beer fridge that was conveniently left up there by a former tenant.






Stay tuned for bathroom walls and maybe even a toilet! We can all dream, can't we?
