We have been here over a year now and have been steadily improving the house. It was built in 1973 and it looked as though almost nothing had been done since, although previous owners built a pool about 1995. The pool needs replastering, which will be done next Thursday. The old plaster was jackhammered out about a month ago and we’ve been waiting for the plaster to be replaced.
The Pool.
Here is the pool with the old plaster gone. In addition, we will replace the light and add a railing at the steps.

The final pool with the rails.
Inside, we have done a lot, beginning with the floor.
the living room with tile floor.
Driveway.
After the pool is finished, the driveway needs to be resurfaced. I have an estimate and will do this next month.
Leaking gutters.
I had the gutters replaced after that photo last year. We had a recent rain and they still leaked but not as badly as in that photo. I have called Home Depot multiple times to come and fix them. Someday, maybe, they will return my call.
Dining Room.
The dining room looks nice with the paintings and plates hung on the walls.
Living Room.
The living room has three bookcases and the large new rug is Juliet’s favorite.
Family Room.
The family room has two more bookcases and looks nice,
Master Bedroom.
The master bedroom has a blanket chest at the foot to help Juliet negotiate the bed.
Queen Room.
The “Queen Room” is the guest bedroom. It also has a bookcase.
Office Bedroom.
The “Office Bedroom” has another double bed and my desk, plus two more bookcases.
Other new additions include a whole new electrical service with a 200 amp panel replace an ancient panel that had an overloaded 60 amp service.
We are almost finished. An extended back wall will wait a year or two. Someday maybe a spa next to the pool.
