Background


We live in a 99-year old house which is an adventure almost every day. There's always something to do. A fair bit of updating has been done, even before we moved in 4 years ago. The floorplan is generally quite open, in contrast to it's original design. But we love it for entertaining.

We've made mostly cosmetic changes, until now. We're in the process of replacing floor joists under the kitchen floor, remodelling the kitchen, moving the back door, adding a small deck outside, and redecorating the family/dining room.

This blog will be a record of the process, and the experience. No work has been started yet, but we've been doing lots of planning, and revising of plans. Tomorrow we meet with the architect/contractor, Allen, and his brother James who will be doing much of the actual work. We're hoping that they'll tell us work can start next week....
