Preliminary Project List for 2008

In a couple of past posts I've mentioned some of our prospective 2008 projects. We've begun to make progress on two of them - estimates are in for completing the paneling in the addition, and the pool estimate is being put together as well.

Here is the list of interior near term projects, meaning they are the focus for this year.

Addition portion of the house:

• Insulate (to R18) and panel ceiling, panel over old adhesive mirrors, and add recessed hall lighting and outlet
• Insulate walls with blow-in insulation
• Install MBR door
• Install hallway closet doors
• Fix moldings on window vent and baseboard in MBR
• Relocate dryer vent (currently vented below house)

Original/stone portion of house:

• Relocate electric box and complete necesary rewiring
• Repair living room outlet near fireplace
• Install weather stripping on front door
• Replace kitchen counter lights
• Install new window A/C units in main room and MBR

And for exterior projects we have the following:

• Complete pool retrofitting and necessary repairs
• Relay bricks on front terrace and repoint retaining walls
• Remove built-in planter near pool and repave with bricks
• Replace foundation board on rear exterior of addition, install new flashing
• Remove remaining siding on facia boards, repair any damage, and stain to match the rest of the house
• Rescreen porch
• Repair carpenter bee damage on window and door frames
• Repair porch and ramp to rear entry where needed
• Replace exterior light fixture
• Install new drain cover at rear door
• Reattach downspouts to stone walls and bury new black drain tubes

There are a few prioritized long-term projects, but with the completion of this list we will be substantially far along with everything.
