Our next adventure...

It's official, Matt and I are going to be parents! Baby Glassman is due February 17th, 2012.
Now the countdown starts until we can find out if the baby will be a boy or girl, and then the nursery decor and office remodel begins.

We are so excited for what this next stage in life will bring....

A new railing

Not a super exciting update, but since we having been working on finishing out the basement with molding lately we finally also finished the railing on the "half wall" around our stairs which go down to the basement. The top of the wall was unfinished after it was drywalled, since we still needed to add a wood top to it (you could still see the edges of the drywall). So Matt spent a couple hours one night this week and got it done pretty quickly! Now I think I will just paint it white so it blends in better with the rest of our house and the molding everywhere.

The Roof

Well now that our basement is 90% done (we are still working on Doors, molding, and a few other finishes), why not have the roof of our house re-done right? Haha. Well this wasn't on my list of things to do, but Matt thought we should do it in the next 3-5 years anyways.... So when a new little company came into our neighorhood (their office is literally a block down the street on the main road) that does green home renovations, and offered to do our whole roof as well as replace our gutters and fix up part of our porch roof.... (at a killer deal since they are trying to get new business) we couldn't pass it up.

Luckily this project requires no work on my part, other than signing some paperwork, woo hoo!  And now by the end of summer we will have a brand new roof before the next winter.

Here are a few "before" pictures of the roof. You can see they have already delivered some of the materials and put it up on our roof where it has now been sitting for a week. Hopefully I will have finished "after" pictures in a few weeks.
