Spring/Summer 2011-
Sprinkler system
The backyard needs major help, so we want to try to fix that up as much as we can.
Put down a new trex decking and a new paver walkway.

Siding was started today...

inside we're just changing things up a little - making the nursery an office, and the spare bedroom into the little boy's room.

We're likely listing the house within a year or so.

flooring.

we have carpets everywhere except our kitchen and bathrooms. we are very happy with the tile but really hate the wall-to-wall carpet even though it is nice carpet. we are suuucking it up for as long as we can and then, sometime this year, we are going to get hardwood or laminate. price-wise probably laminate lol!
