- Replaced all the flooring. (hardwood flooring throughout excepting the Kitchen, front entrance and powder room which got porcelain tile)
- Reshingled the roof.
- Almost all the trim has been replaced except around the upstairs doors.
- New sliding door for the deck
- Clad all the windows in aluminum.
- Rebuilt the retaining wall and the associated fence on top. (about 4 yards of dirt moved by yours truly)
- Regraded around the house (about a yard of dirt moved by yours truly)
- New interlock beside the house and up to the front entrance (about 2 yards of dirt moved by tours surly).
- New flowerbed beside the aforementioned interlock by the front entrance. (about 2 yards of dirt and manure moved by truly surly).
- New eaves-trough on the whole house which involved no dirt moving and no ladder climbing by yours truly.
- Replaced all but one light fixture, I'm not sure why I never got around to that last fixture though.
- Removed the basement stairs, jacked up the header supporting the hallway and installed supporting posts.
- Refinished the Kitchen cupboards.
- Moved the wall between the kitchen and the garage back two feet into the garage to open up the front entrance and installed a new pocket door and built-in bookshelf in the powder room.
- Painted every frickin' wall in the entire frickin' house at least once.
- Clad the stairs going to the second floor in hardwood.
- Installed a new counter-top in the bathroom and a new sink in the powder room.
- New kitchen faucet. New faucet in the Powder Room and bathroom.
- Moved the cupboard uppers and installed a microwave above the stove.
- Installed a dishwasher and new china cabinet.
- Repainted the garage door (which really needed it).
All this in just over four years. I still have to repair the shed floor and finish the trim on the stairs before Wednesday when we are having the real estate agent over to list the house. Before I moved in Mrs Bugbear had done a few renovations on her own:
- Painted the downstairs.
- Insulated the attic
- Painted the ceilings
- Painted most of the upstairs
- Added ceiling boxes to two of the upstairs bedrooms.
