Projects, 2004
back to 2004

This year, our own home projects seemed to keep us pretty busy.  Below are a few of them.

The bedrooms and hallway remodels were a result of remodeling the office in 2003.  Rough T&G incense cedar was again used for all the ceilings, and for the entry closet outside and inside.


The side of the house after oiling


The rear of the after oiling (one side left plus the upper parts not done yet - too high up!).

Painting the roof and oiling the upper parts is another future project, but not by me


The new home for the garbage cans, in the back yard


The front bedroom after the ceiling was installed


The back bedroom when we first bought the house


The same view with the molding and one panel removed in order to install two new outlets, one being for the bathroom


The dining room with some of the "stuff" from the back bedroom


The back bedroom after


The chimney in the rear bedroom, before hiding


The chimney after.
(The upper door in the left above the closet, was the only entrance to the attic)


Digging the drain trench and adding soil


The Dutch drain with some new grass


The front entrance before
(note original doorway to the front bedroom, inside the old closet, )   
 


The front entrance after, with the drop-down stairs to the attic
 

The attic before, with most of the old shredded newspaper removed (I moved what I could down between the walls for insulation) and with some of the plywood flooring already installed


The attic after, looking toward the kitchen
  


The opposite view towards the window, showing the drop-down stairs going to the front hallway, with some of the stored "stuff"
 


The NEW sofa


The driveway with new redwood edging and grass coming in
