Your presence is truly the greatest gift we could ask for. But if you are feeling extra generous, a contribution to our home renovation fund would be the cherry on top! We recently bought our first home, a charming bungalow originally built in the 1920s, and the basement was built in the 60s. While it has tons of character, it also has some quirks. The insulation seems to have retired years ago, the siding has definitely seen better days, and a few windows are older than we are - Our dream reno plan includes - Removing the old siding, eavestroughs, and a few very vintage windows - Upgrading to new windows, Tyvek wrap, and adding a layer of rigid foam insulation - Finishing with fresh vinyl siding and trim - Sealing some sneaky foundation cracks to keep things dry and cozy - If you must bring something, please see our Amazon registry - we have added a few items we need around the house :)
