First Weekend

Welcome to the blog we've set up to detail our progress on refurbishing our new (and first) home. The house is ours as of Friday, April 15, 2005. It is a bungalow in the Mills subdivision in Elmwood Park, IL. The house was designed by John Mills and built in 1928.

The previous owners were in the house since the early 1960s. While they took immaculate care of the house and gave it many personal touches, the house is in need of some updating. We are looking forward to tackling various projects, small and large.
