Mark, weren't you going to build a new home theater room sometime? Maybe I'm remembering someone else saying that.

I had wondered aloud several times about finishing off the attic to gain a little more living space, but never made any specific plans to do so.

In the past two years, we replaced our furnace, put in new windows, a new roof and had the house sided. As we speak, the front porch renovation will be finished today.

What I'd really like to do is to add an addition to the back of the house…a window and skylight-filled, vaulted-ceiling addition (to be specific). Despite the house being on a main road and having lots of traffic noise in the front, in the back we have two lots, one of which is mostly wetlands and surprisingly free of most traffic noise. Those windows will allow the southern sun and bird tweeting into the room, while the dimensions and ceiling height will help my Axiom Tweeting… and woofing. When / if that room happens, you'll hear me speak no more of Thy Room That Sucketh (TM).

All I need is $100~$150K that's lyin' around doin' nuthin'.

Mark, the house looks great ( I had to peak at the rest of the photo's), a very charming home, I love that style.

Nice facelift on the house, Mark! You should have contacted This Old House and done an episode.

I hope you trip over that pile of money sooner rather than later. It would be such a heartwarming story, going from worst to first! Seriously, there should be more movies about home theater construction/renovation.

Now you guys have my head swelling! Thank God I started this thread so that I'm only hijacking myself!

What a difference a year makes:



We're having a new sign made and will install it with granite posts to match the new granite steps we'll be getting. Granite, here in the Granite State, is like dirt anywhere else!

Awesome! I like what you did with the trees and sky, they look so much better!



Seriously (who, me?!), that's a great before and after. Super job all around. I especially like the cranberry colored shutters. Great choice.

Along those lines... great photography on your site as well. I don't have much experience with concert/performance photography (only shot a few musicals back in college) but the use of ambient lighting really makes for great images. I always hate how flash photography looks when there are so many better (although more difficult) ways to capture the mood of an event.
