The fridge was the top priority. Really. The old fridge was busted and has sat empty for a while. No way I am gonna put my food in that. Also, I am so used to super filtered cold water from my fridge (and all I drink is water and coffee), that I needed that shiny new fridge.
We need to get some estimates on a new roof. Hope to have that done by the end of the week. Going to call in Empire Today and see if they really can put carpet in our place fast and cheap.
As soon as the carpet is in, so are we.
The house itself is a Art and Crafts semi Frank Lloyd Wright style house. It has lots of stained glass, angles, and wood. We are trying to figure out just what tweaks to make. We think there is a wall that may go, stay tuned for that.
Also, the house is half concrete. The floors and al of the basement (walls, ceiling, everything!) is concrete. The house is a tank, suitable for shelter during nuclear war. We like that. The wall we want to remove is NOT concrete. Phew.
The heat is radiant heat, powered by something from the Bronze Age that consumes more oil than a Hummer. We are going to convert the heater element to run on either natural gas (cheap, but still uses gas) or geothermal (expensive up front, but FREE forever!).
