Neverending

So, we've started to get estimates for more work on the house. Understand why I called the title to this post is called "Neverending"??

We no longer need the two built-in air conditioners (in our kitchen and family room) and removing them is the highest priority. We suspect there is water damage in the family room wall, and both are A) ugly and B) quite energy inefficient in that during the winter if you put your hand up in front of either of them you would feel a breeze. I can't wait to get rid of them. The wall in the family room should be able to be patched well enough, the kitchen should be fine as well.

Also on the list is replacing some of the water pipes in the basement, which we expect to greatly improve our water pressure both inside and outside the house. Part of the basement ceiling will need to get ripped out, but as the basement isn't really used beyond storage (for now) we don't really care. Edwin is excited about this, it should make it far easier for him to water the grass in the summer.

So, we're keeping our fingers crossed that this all works out, so we can cross a couple more things off our list. One nice thing was that a person who came out to give an estimate the other day raved on about our windows, despite their being old. He thought they were in great shape and were a classic style, which I happen to agree :)
