One year ago this past Sunday, we got the keys to our "new house". Mere hours later we had already begun tearing down the walls between the downstairs bedroom and dining room, which today are now our dining room and, well, space between dining room and kitchen. The floor plan is completely rearranged, a 4x6 meter two-story addition nearly completed, all new plumbing, electrical, heating (except the furnace), insulation, walls, floors, ceilings, windows. There is essentially nothing left in the house that resembles what it was before.

To say that this was a big undertaking is a huge understatement.
What the hell were we thinking? That about sums it up.
Was it worth it? Would we do it again? We're not done yet.
Ask us in a year.
