Besides working on the nursery, guest room, upstairs hall, and stairwell; we've had some side projects pop up.
Unwanted House Guests: Shortly after we brought Avonlea home from the hospital, we discovered that she wasn't the only new resident. Three different types of bees decided to move in as well! A family of bumblebees and some type of smaller bee tried to move into our basement. At the same time, a type of wasp or hornet was getting into our house via the downstairs bathroom's vent. Yikes! We decided to call an exterminator to take care of the problem. We haven't seen any bees since, thank goodness!...
Well, except for this one.
Winterizing: The weather-stripping on our exterior doors were disintegrating, so we've replaced them. We've also covered all the older windows with the plastic film to prevent drafts and air leakage.
Roof: We noticed something wasn't right with the ridge vents on our roof, so we called a roofer. It turns out that the nails holding the ridge vents down were popping out. The roofer removed all the nails and caulked the holes. He then secured the ridge vents down with screws. This should prevent the ridge vents from separating from the roof again. Fortunately, he only charged us $110. While he was up there, he also removed an old TV antenna for us.
Our home minus the antenna
The roof line looks so much nicer now.
