I’m hoping to start on some house work in April. Likely removing most of the trim in the living room, dining room, and main floor bedrooms and getting it dipped and stripped. Then we will decide on what to do with the walls. Once it gets warmer, we will start on window restoration as well.

I’m not anticipating the dirt and dust that comes with starting remodeling work again. I’ve been literally having dreams about selling this house and moving into one with no woodwork to strip. Can you say pre-stripping anxiety? :) Luckily we love this house enough to put the time into it and not just paint the woodwork again.

   Congratulations on your great savings. I’ve been trying to follow Dave Ramsey’s book ,
   “Total Money Makeover” also and just started myself. I don’t have Excel on my computer but I
   have been trying to write everything down and stay on budget. Your success is really motivating me
   to try even harder It would be great to save enough money to do some renovations without
   breaking the bank.

   Your house is so cute and I absolutely love your kitchen.

   Oh my goodness, what a difference the car insurance shopping makes!

   Joy: and oddly we switched to A.S. and get coverage like new car replacement and deductible reduction ($100 less every 6 mo. without an accident) for only $83 a month. Our other company offered no where near those features for twice the cost.
