It's been a while since i updated - but then again - what else is new???
Today we headed north for the snowmobile cook-out - just a bunch of people all bundled up cause it was so frigging cold eating really expensive hot dogs and hamburgers.....I have grown to hate snowmobiling.
Decided on the next huge renovation job(s)

Decided on the next huge renovation job(s)
- get a small shed for the boys to keep their bikes / snowboards / skateboards in
- Tear down the gorgeous covered patio currently making the backyard super ugly.dig the foundation - get it sealed so basement will be waterproof
- small mudroom addition so people are not tripping over shoes at our back door area.
- covered garbage area to the side of the new mudroom.
- new set of stairs going into the basement - thinking of taking away the "deadman closet" so we can have a small landing and turn the staircase.
- new furnace and water heater - move it closer into the room which is currently the laundry room which will be the furnance / storage room
- rip out everything in the basement = to the bare concrete blocks and ceiling - everything must go.
- two bedrooms in the basement
- laundry room will be where the old kitchen is currently in the basement
- next to the laundry room will be a small bathroom with sink / storage / toliet / shower for the boys
- small wet bar
- nice family room area with an eletrci fireplace and flat screen above.
- long term - probably next year - going to build a covered porch area where the ugly one is currently
- new patio furniture
- outdoor fireplace (if i can convince hubs on this one)
I think i need to win the lottery.......cha ching
I have been searching for inspiration photos for the family area of the basement and have just fallen completely and totally madly in love with a home posted on Velvet and linen....I am so in love: http://brookegiannetti.typepad.com/velvet_and_linen/2009/02/more-1.html
This is the "inspiration" for our basement reno - it will look nothing like this but hope to have the same "vibe"
check out this bar that leads into their wine cellar - oh to have that much money - but then again i am not all that found of wine.....
Now if i could just figure out how to insert the actual photo into here!!!
