home improvement
Ross and I have decided that it’s time to invest some money into fixing our home-crap-home if we ever hope to sell it. A new fence is in the works and we spent time patching and repainting the ceiling in our upstairs bathroom (steam and paint from 1923 don’t so much like each other). I’ll finally be painting the ceiling to the downstairs bathroom tomorrow – luckily that bathroom was once a closet so there’s not much surface area to cover.
We’re trying to figure out what the next project will be. There’s plenty of things that need to be fixed that are beyond our skills (major carpentry, etc.), but I’m sure there are lots of little thing that will add value to our house without being a major undertaking. Thoughts?

Is there a vent fan in your upstairs bathroom? We added one to our house – the materials cost isn’t too bad (
Updating plumbing fixtures is supposed to be pretty easy and adds a lot of value. I forget if you have ceiling fans, but those are pretty easy and can save money on heating and cooling.
I understand your dilemma. overwhelmed by so much to do that you can’t find one thing to do. i just bought my first home and this process is driving me a little nuts.
