Progress
Wood floor and baseboards are in! Woohoo!
The refinished heat registers don't look too bad either. Seems like since we uncovered the cold air return the furnace flow is tons better. Now the next project is to finish urethane and filling in the woodwork around the doors and windows. Then onto the steps. I am leaning toward refinishing what is there. Hopefully it will work.

Update
I have not updated for quite a while. We have done a few projects and a few major ones will be coming in the next week. The upstairs bathroom was completely finished, kitchen and dining room painted. Finally after about 9 years we will be installing new wood floors and baseboard next week. Also on the list two old doors we salvaged will be refinished and hung up, refinished heat registers will also be installed. Hope to in the next few months redo and insulate upstairs bedrooms and insulate the downstairs living room. Will update pix soon.

Porch
We just got finished putting the new windows in the front porch. Next on the list is finishing the trim around them inside and out, and building the new entry door. Hopefully we can get rid of the siding that goes along the side and if we have to stucco that back in. Then it will be on to finishing shingling the garage and enclosing around the hot tub. Lots of little projects in the works. Hopefully we can get them all finished up.

Roofing
Hello-
We have been super busy with redoing our roof of our house. We decided a few years ago that when we re shingle our home we wanted to do wood shingles. So that is what we are doing. We have had many complements and lots of looky lous. When I get some pix I will post them on here.
