Home Improvements

We've lived in our new home for one week now and we've been busy.  Well, our handyman has been busy and I'm exhausted from monitoring him.  So far we've:

• replaced the carpet


• painted Samantha's room


• replaced the kitchen faucet


• replaced the garbage disposal


• installed a light switch in the basement storage room


• replaced all the rotten wood trim on the front windows and fixed the leak that caused it


• caulked a cracked front step


• reset some of the tile in the basement shower


• fixed a broken kitchen cabinet


• cleaned the chimney


• cleaned the dryer vent (which was so full of lint that the dryer did not work)

There are only a few more urgent things on the list, plus unpacking and cleaning.  We're feeling secure enough that we decided to go to Florida for Christmas with Adam's folks.  Now, if only I could find the towels so that I can change out this one I've been using for over 2 weeks...
