“What we call ‘Progress’ is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance.”
Havelock Ellis (1859 – 1939)

Spawned by a comment from Erin, I decided to take a step back and see how much we have actually done to the house since we bought it. Each project seemed like a slow process and I really didn’t know how much the whole house had changed until I pulled up some old pictures. We knew what we were getting into when we bought this heap, however, now that we are approaching the 4 year mark here is a side by side comparison of the progress made.

“Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.”
Robert Frost (1874 – 1963), The Black Cottage
