2009 Preview: The House

2008 the house attacked, and in 2009 it's time to strike back. There's a lot of work to be done, it's pretty overwhelming.

1. Redo the sewer connection so we don't have a flooded basement and can do laundry at the house again
2. Redo the roof. It's newer shingles, but not the best job. It's got 3 layers of shingles (against regulations, 2 is the limit) and is prone to some leakage and ice dams
3. Replace the carpet on the stairs with laminate. This one's gonna be a challenge, we're hoping to do it ourselves but I have no clue how to do it
4. Convert upstairs room to an office. And lay down laminate too. The room has the carpet ripped up, but needs the laminate on it.
5. Possibly replace the furnace, but defiantly change the furnace vent to not go into the chimney. After rerouting the pipe, remove the old chimney. Most likely this would have to be done before replacing the roof.
6. Redo the entire bathroom. The last owners butchered the bathroom in their attempts to renovate it.

1, 2, and 5 have to be done this year. The others I would like to get to this year if we can. Finances are going to be the main factor as the revisions won't come cheap and we have a trip to England to save up for next year.
