Our plans for the house

We have some big plans for this house that will take a while to get done. I am just going to share all of our plans, but I'll give you a sort of idea for time frame.

Outside:

- Pressure wash the house and decks. Seal the decks. (Done)
- Paint the front door (soon)
- Replace the mailbox (soon)
- Landscape around the front porch (probably this fall)
- Tear down the back porch and rebuild a porch or stone patio (next year)
- Plant a few trees in the back yard (next year)
- Landscape the existing flowerbed in the backyard (soon)
- Plant a garden (depends on when everything we want to grow needs to be planted, might be next year)
- Get furniture for the front porch (not a priority)

Living room:
- Paint (done)
- Get a new couch (next year)
- Turn a dresser into a TV stand (in the works)
