House Updates


















We refinanced the house and were able to get some money out of it to do a few things to the house. First up was repair the fireplace so it would work properly and not burn the house down. I was leaning toward gas logs, but Pat wanted a real fireplace and I admit, it is wonderful to sit in front of. It's beautiful, warm and mostly has created a great conversation space for the two of us.



Next up we replaced the furnace. The original goal was air conditioning, which is still to come once it warms up, but the tax break on more efficient furnances plus the age of our old furnace made it make sense to get this installed during 2010.




Both of the above were done just in time....

The pictures of your house make me want to see it in person! We replaced our furnace and AC this year. Not inexpensive, but SO worth the money.
