The year in remodeling

After posting the pictures of the kitchen paint job yesterday it occurred to me that one really positive aspect of 2007 was that we did a lot of remodeling—both big jobs and small, by ourselves and hiring people. It started off small, buying new light fixtures and the like, because we couldn't really afford the big things. Both my bathroom and the roommate's were in really bad shape, but we were just going to have to live with them.

Then the floor of the roommate's shower (one of those prefab stalls) caved in on her. We didn't have any choice about fixing it then. So we decided that if we had to spend the money, we'd get a modest home loan and do both bathrooms and if there was anything left, get some painting done, et al.

Again, I didn't take too many before pictures, but here's the gallery of changes.

P.S. We are now out of money. :-(
