It's been a while

And a lot more work has been done on the house. We are actually about 85% finished with major projects. There are a few things that still need to be finished:
-Central Heat and Air--a MUST have.
-New Windows in all the rooms
-I'm thinking a metal roof
-EFIS siding--it's like stucco, it's fairly cost effective to do, and extremely beneficial on the costs of operating the house due to it's energy efficiency.

Still some cosmetic issues, like new trim. But that has to wait for new windows. The bathroom and our bedroom needs paint.

This summer Chance plans to raise the floor in the garage about 3 feet and create a more useful laundry room. I'm making him build/install shelving and closet racks so that our clothes can go from the dryer directly to their places. It will be very helpful for my hatred of folding tons of clothes after they have been in the laundry basket for two days because I'm too lazy to do it right away! : ) And, the closet in our bedroom is awful, the rack runs on the sides and no through the middle. And it's tiny.
