Two-Year Update

Posted on June 7, 2017April 13, 2025 By stega

A day before we closed escrow on Purgatory, we drafted this list of all the things we needed to get done. Here it is updated:

Roof–New Foam
Well Tank–Replace
Septic Tank–Replace (Permit required!)
Plumbing–Kitchen sink pipe
Driveway–Repair and seal twice in fact!

At a later date:
Furnace–Replace on hold as diesel is cheap
Electrical–New Panel
Irrigation–Plot out what is where and address issues ongoing
Fences–Replace/Repair all we’ve moved on to the house yard fence
Retaining Wall–Replace existing 300ft long wall (Permit required!)
Garage Drainage–build small wall
Patios and Exterior–part of retaining wall project now part of new landscaping project currently underway
Fascia–part of retaining wall project
Siding–New on hold
Large Barn–demolish (Permit required!) then again maybe not
Kennel –demolish roof
Dining Room Floor–repair damage maybe if we had furniture and used the space

Not bad for two years!

Welcome to the neighborhood

Of course this list doesn’t include:
Replacing the hot tub;
Replacing the main electrical panel;
Replacing the pool electrical and lights;
Resurfacing the pool and getting rid of the diving board;
Getting rid of the old dog kennel and horse structure;
Re-fencing the perimeter;
Cleaning out the trash heap;
Removing all the horrible decks;
and two hundred small projects too numerous to mention.
