UPDATES:

March 2007:  Seriously,  I really am horrible at updates.  So, this is going to be no longer a dated thing.   It's not really a new house anymore anyway, I mean it's like 5 yeas old now.  So, I am fixing the image on this page to something more recent, and taking the words "new" out of most of the text links.     Yes, we still do things to the house, both inside and outside.  Currently, we are re-painting the living area, and we have already done the master bedroom.   The yard is looking great. 

May, 2004 - Apparently I suck at updates, so here is the catch up.   The basement phase one is complete.   I have added a family room, and an office.  There is also space for a kitchenette.  Jack, my buddy from Perfect Floors hooked me up with some GREAT flooring.  Thanks buddy.   There are pictures of the basement project in the Photo Gallery
We just this weekend fenced in the back yard for the dogs (pictures).   They are quite happy about it.  Steve, Lance, Jeff, Alan, and Bryan, thanks for the help.  It was fun too, well other than the rain the first weekend.   My mom came up to help too, but she ended up planting a tree and digging up some new flower beds in my front yard. 

November, 2003 - Ok.. so I have not put any recent updates up.   So here is the scoop.   This Spring/Summer has pretty much just been work in the real world.   I have started finishing the basement.  So far stage 1 is about 1/4 done.  The walls are up and they have drywall on one side.   Now that it's cold again, I will be working on that project.   Just finished insulating the garage!   Now I can actually work on stuff out there during the winter.   Did the walls with JM Comfort Therm, and did the blown in stuff in the attic.   9 inches (R30).

January, 2003 - Pictures!  Our first major project.  Decorating the front office room. We are FULL TILT into winter up here.  As I type this, they are predicting a high of 10 degrees tomorrow.  

November, 2002 - Just archived all of the building of the house photos here.   Have a look.  It's been a while with no updates.  I guess once it's done, you really don't think about it too much.   We have had for the most part no problems at all over the last year.  We had 1 toilet spring a small leak, one drywall crack, and a couple of paint touchups.   They had to replace the backsplash behind the sink (Forgot to caulk it originally) and that folks.. is it.    We do have a full yard now, it grew in nicely over the summer, and the lot to the south of us has a house under construction.  The lot to the NORTH of us, which is also wooded, has been bought, and the owner does not plan on building on it.   Hooray for us!   The next project for this winter is finishing at least one room of the basement.   The garage is almost totally insulated now, just need to blow in some insulation in the attic to complete the job.
