Victorian Home Project: Photo Gallery 1 Year In

A year ago this month, we bought a 120 year old Victorian home. We’ve come a long way since move-in day. Here are photos of the house at our 1-year mark. A work in progress. Here’s a few things we’ve knocked out so far:

• Air conditioning
• Curtains, blinds
• Cleaning… everywhere. Again. Again.
• Lights — working and to LED
• Door locks — to smart combo locks
• Carpet out of bathrooms
• Tub pipe leak
• Yard clean-up, dead tree clearing, mulch-making
• Home gym project
• Cabinet and drawer knobs (everywhere)
• Garage doors
• Brick walk-out (in progress)
• Getting 5 of 6 exterior doors to open/close
• Master bedroom 30 year old TV wall hole
• Clean and restore antique door knobs
• Re-wire 1920s light fixture
• Switch plates, outlet covers, outlet replacements.
• Smarthome upgrades: hub, motion detecting closet lights, smart switch, garage door, centrally controlled speaker system, thermostat, coffeemaker, locks. Next up is Arlo.
• Hauled a treadmill to the 2nd floor. Deserves its own bullet. That shit was hard (see post on home gym project).

Disclaimer: removing flowery wallpaper, gutting the 80s bathroom, and replacing the random shower in the middle of a bedroom with a master bath are on the to-do list :-) #neverdone
