Basement!

We have started the basement reno's this week!! Yipee! It's already been quite the adventure! Everywhere I turn around there is another problem to solve and another cost associated. :o) Sigh.
Oh well. That's part of the fun, right!?

We painted the livingroom upstairs. I'll be posting pics of that soon. I just need to find an ounce of time.

:o)

Electrical Panel Upgrade

One of problems with buying an old house is that some very important things may need upgrading from time to time... i.e. furnaces, electrical service, plumbing etc. Sigh....
Although, we lucked out and found a great house that needed little upgrading, one of the requirements for buying our house was that we had to upgrade the electrical service from 70w to 100w within 60 days of our possession date.

This is definitely a job better left to professionals.... and since I didn't have a hand in any of this all I can do it post the pictures :o)

This is the old 70w service that we had when we first moved in. It was located beside the back door of the house:

This is the new panel. They had to move it down to the basement into the room that will become my photography office once our basement reno's are through. Although there is nothing visually appealing about an electrical panel, it is at least an improvement!
