Home improvement season approaches....

Here we are at three weeks after Isaiah's birth. Paul's back at work and going like crazy. Extra hours at the fulltime job plus some hours at the sidejob. We are planning our major home improvements for the year now. Gabriel and Asher are adjusting well and life is rolling along again. When the nice weather comes they will start getting outside more and all will be well.

We are hoping to hire some of the work done, but we need a roof-to-cap chimney rebuild right away. We are also considering a backyard overhaul including a retaining wall at the back alley, privacy fence along the back, picket fence along the sides, leveling, running drainage from our downspouts to the alley, and sod. Then we'd have a bigger nicer backyard for playing that wouldn't let them sneak away. Then I have to finish installing basement windows and paint the north side of the house. After that we start discussing main floor bathroom remodeling and basement finishing for the fall or next year. Fun, fun, fun....
