My wife, Jeannette, is the general contractor in our home. Unfortunately, I can’t hammer a nail!
Yet, we continually make improvements to our home that we can’t do ourselves. Her favorite channel is HGTV - need I say more.
So, our goal is to complete an annual project and gradually spend money over time.
We’d like to not kick the can and do everything all at once when it comes time to sell.
Jeannette, thankfully has a knack for picking out trendy paint colors, decorations, and fixtures. God bless her because I don’t have that quality!
Our first project transformed our rear yard by adding stone paver patios at each end of the pool. There’s now an abundance of intimate space to entertain.
An eye-sore storage drain (she literally cried when she noticed it on closing day) is now hidden by beautiful landscaping.
Several years ago we added new flooring throughout our finished basement; appliances were also updated.
We felt our rear yard needed more privacy. Over the years, we have raised the fenceline, added numerous trees and planted flower beds.
The next, and biggest challenge, will be the renovation of our primary bathroom. It will be our biggest project to date and we are saving as we speak.
We are certainly not Chip and Joanna - but enjoying the improvements as we make them!
