The Plan...

So here we are in mid May.  I have been living in my new home for 6 weeks now.  Going well so far...

The order of work is as follows:

1) Replace kitchen, upgrades
2) Main bathroom / Ensuite addition
3) Replace doors and closet bifolds
4) Replace baseboards
5) Repaint rooms
6) Carpet bedrooms
7) Replace flooring on main floor
8) Insulate garage
9) Basement

As I write, task 1, which is by far the most complex task of the project is under way.  Photos to follow soon.

The goal is to be at task 8 by November before our long Canadian winter kicks in, and my car can be treated to a heated garage (both at home and at work - such luxury!) all winter long.  In terms of budget, I don't have an absolute maximum as the job will be done over a course of months (one of the luxuries of doing the job myself) however i am hoping to keep the spend to about $25k.  Note that this doesn't include any yard work - which in itself needs a good makeover.
