And a good Afternoon to you all. Tippy and I just got up. Fed her and the fish, and just finished two eggs, time for toast and coffee.

Here is picture of my back yard. Before Hurricane Irma the lake shore line was beyond the trees, brush and trees were on dry land, shoreline moved forward between 40-50 feet from all the rain from Irma.

Some days I have a lot of energy and some days,, not so much. There are numerous indoor projects that need to be done. The previous owner did nothing.
I'm installing a downstairs bathroom. I already took down a wall between the back door hallway and a extension that was added onto the house 25 years ago. The ceiling between these two rooms needed insulation. Today I got that done. I also installed weather stripping around the upstairs hallway window as well as the backdoor. I have one more area in the basement where I have found a draft. Maybe I'll get to that tomorrow. Right now it's time for a burger.

I would say you have more energy than most. Drafts cost a lot of $$$$

Yep,, and it's a give, that you use more gas in the winter to heat your home. This has been a pretty cold winter so far. It's my first winter in this house so I should get a worst case scenario as to how much it costs to get through the winter.

We hope that you did not pay a lot for that house. You put a lot of sweat and money into it. Good for you.

Sam, I think if the guy I bought the house from had maintained it for the10 years he owned it, it would be worth every penny I bought it for. The house was built in 1905. Property has to be maintained, regardless of how old or young it is.
I also have 8.6 acres. What I'm paying monthly for mortgage, gas, and electric comes out to half of what my rent was in NYC. I'm just grateful that I have the knowledge and abilities to do the repairs, maintenance, and alterations.
