Summer by the Numbers


 
              Meg and Molly

We have been in Bennington for 4 months.

We have had 6 sets of visitors; 4 in the past 5 weeks.

We painted 3 rooms.


We have had between 1 and 4 men working on our house for 3 months:

  • repaired 3 of 4 entrances to the house: front porch, back porch, back deck. (Only the front breezeway remains untouched, and it needs work.)
  • added 7 overhead lights and replaced 3 fixtures. 
  • added 8 new electrical circuits.
  • replaced 7 sill plates due to rot. 1 remains to be fixed. 
  • rebuilt 1 entire wall and part of another.
  • removed 51 shutters for painting. They have not yet been replaced.
  • added 6 handrails at stairways.
  • painted 20 exterior walls on the first floor and 6 on the second.
  • added 1 hot water heater
  • repaired 2 sewer lines and 2 leaks
  • replaced 1 section of wood flooring
  • added 1 whole-house attic fan and 2 gable vents
  • relined 1 chimney, decommissioned 1, inspected 1
All together, we have dealt with 130 items.

And we are not finished yet.

But isn't it looking wonderful?
