House Goals for 2017

It's another new year, which means a fresh list of home renovation goals!

Each year I've been making these lists of goals, and each year, we complete only a couple of them, with the rest carrying over into the next year. I guess that's just how it goes when you both have full time jobs and other things like getting married and vacations going on. :)

Nonetheless, let's look at what we've completed in the last year. These were my house goals for 2016:

2016 House Resolutions:

1. Finish Hallway.
2. Fix the foundation.
3. Fix leaking roof in back room.
4. Raise/level the living room.

5. Fully install the baseboard in the living room (only been waiting about 3 1/2 years for this to get done!--- make that 6 1/2 now.)

6. Kitchen foundation / leveling / gutting / renovation (that's a mouthful, and encompasses a bunch of work!)

7. Start on pantry/closet reno.

Well, we didn't do as good as last year. I think because most of the summer was spent on the first goal on the list: Finishing the hallway. And we did. And it was a huge job. That counts as something in my book!

So, let's make things easier on ourselves this year, shall we? Just 6 lofty goals.

2017 House Resolutions:

1. Raise/level the living room.
2. Renovate the pantry/closet.
3. Fix leaking roof in back room.
4. Fix the foundation.

5. Fully install the baseboard in the living room (only been waiting about 3 1/2 years for this to get done!--- make that 6 1/2 now.)

6. Kitchen foundation / leveling / gutting / renovation (that's a mouthful, and encompasses a bunch of work!)

I think it's safe to say this year, given our history, that we'll have a hard time getting all of these completed. But, I'm hoping to get the first 3 finished at least. We'll see how it goes! :)
