These are the pictures of our latest remodeling and updating of our home. Since we did not travel so much this summer we decided to put our time into home updates.
Porch was Scrubbed, new Grout and Painted. The job took 1 day to complete and looks great to us. We installed 4 New Porch lights and our home made railing painted. Nancy and I made the porch railing from Redwood. Redwood is really hard to find anymore.

The middle picture has all the furniture out and ready for a Happy Hour
I have a bad heel spur so Nancy had to climb the ladder 18 feet to trim the entranceway
ceiling. The Picture on the left is the hallway at the top of the stairs. So you know Nancy is
really afraid of heights. Lot of bravery on her part to climb the extension ladder. I should get a heel spur more often
Our home has 5 Bedrooms for the two of us, so we have converted them. This bedroom is now
a library. The Audobon Clock is a Christmas Present from Nancy's Sister Barbara. The view out the window is really nice summer or winter. The bookcase holds all of my Louis L'more Books
Nancy painted the room and I installed a new Casablanco fan system. Very comfortable space
Nancy's Master Bath. She Painted and installed the new floor. I did the plumbing and
electrical stuff. The new shower area is from BathFitters Inc. Nice job all the way around
Another bedroom was converted to our setting room. The walls are covered with a bunch of personal stuff including letters from my Dad, who was killed in WWII. The picture on the right is a graduation picture of Hyatts High School dated 1936 and my Dad was one of the 5 graduates.
The bottom left picture is a aerial view of a farmhouse where we lived growing up. The bottom middle picture is a stool my Dad made when in High School. This stool changes residences every now and then with my sisters home in Florida
The picture of the letters is in the center My Sister in Law Linda found the graduation picture in a closet at Olentangy High School where she works. Quite a surprise. There were no women in his graduation class. I attended Olentangy High School the very first year it was open.
This is the Master Bedroom and we really like the big space. Windows on both sides with great views of the trees and the area. Good thing is the room is on the 2nd floor so it is impossible to see in, just out. Nancy did all the painting in here plus the border. I replaced all the switches and ac outlet plugs and installed a Casablanca Fan. Usually when we redo a space all of the electrical stuff is replaced. Never hurts to check connections and if you check them, might as well replace them.
This bedroom was converted years ago into Nancy's office. The pictures on the wall are from yesteryear of both our families. They may be old but sure nice to look upon. She has a nice view of the woods outside both windows. Just finished repainting, added a ceiling fan, and new AC plugs and switches. Nancy's computer is part of the home network.
This is our spare bedroom, which we affectionally call "Carole's" Bedroom. Carole is my sister and when she visits this is where she stays. It is our guest room for anyone who visits with us.
Nancy did all the painting. I hung the pictures
Speaking of windows here are a few of the 22 new windows that were installed. This saved us a lot of money on heating and cooling the home. The middle picture is one of the windows and our new Patio Lights. New lights are also on the front porch. The right picture is me cleaning the paint brush with "Dicks Brush Cleaner" Dick was a friend of mine and a painter. He bought me this tool over 25 years ago. After Nancy washes the brushes I put the brush into the cleaner, operate the plunger and it twirls the brush and gets all the water out. Pretty slick.
The top left picture is our Total Home Protection Box. This eliminates all spikes etc that occurs with the power company or electrical storms. The middle picture is the documentation for the new circuit panel. The darker sheet is the original pictoral by the gentleman that built this home. The lighter sheet is the new documentation indicating location of the different circuits. We had a local electrical company install a new panel with 56 circuits. The phone lines come in through another protection circuit and there is also a protection circuit prior to our DSL modem. The horseshoe is for luck which probably protects us better than everything else. After 45 years in the Broadcast Business I can say that with Lightning you have no control on what happens. Hopefully what you do will minimize any damage.
We are in the process of remodeling a upstairs bathroom and the finished area in the basement. Those will take a few weeks. If you have the time please check back later for an update
Thanks for viewing our blog. Have a great week
