Progress Report - Long Overdue

As you're all aware (and I should have known) this restoration has been a bit like a crescendo, wherein each project undertaken reveals 4 more and everything just keeps piling up (see previous posts about loss of sanity). So, as you might expect, the Katie-Do List has gotten longer with time.

I've now owned my house for 5 1/2 months, and I've officially inhabited it for 1. The project is by no means "completed," and veteran home owners like to tell me the project is never "completed." So with that in mind, here is what I've been up to over at 1480:


Things I'm currently working on:
1. Exterior paint/Stucco work
2. Lawn/Garden rehabilitation
3. Build/Install kitchen cabinets to match original built-ins

Things I've completed:
1. Strip trim/cabinets in kitchen
2. Stain & Poly trim/cabinets
3. Scrape/brush basement walls
4. Waterproof basement walls
5. Tear out master bathroom
6. Total bathroom overhaul including:
a. Repair joists & replace sub-floor
b. New plumbing
c. New walls and skim coat on ceiling
d. New tile in master bathroom
e. New bathroom fixtures
f. Install insanely complicated shower curtain ring
11. Electrical overhaul
12. Replace lead/galvanized plumbing throughout
13. Misc. carpentry: basement stairs/joists
14. New furnace
15. Re-build/plaster master bedroom wall and closet
16. Scape and sand paint from bedroom walls
17. Skim bedroom walls
18. ReFinish wood floors throughout
19. Interior paint throughout

I'm getting around to posting updated photos, so bear with me.
