It’s now my third year in this house, and I’ve started to get the urge to change or improve things that I’ve decided aren’t quite how I’d like them now. When I bought this house one of the criteria was that I didn’t need to do any serious maintenance for at least 2 years. This idea was partially based on suggestions from a couple of friends who said “…take some time to decide what works for you and what doesn’t work for you.”
Well Last weekend I started on the Pergola.
Painting the Pergola
I’ve also got to complete the staining of the windows on the far side of the house. Last summer I started, but since I wasn’t sure how it was going to look, I didn’t buy a large quantity of stain. I’ve since bought more and will hopefully finish this by next weekend.

How it's shaping up
As you can see it lifts the old wood up quite a bit.
There’s also a few other tasks on the list at this stage. For most I’m hoping they’ll be finished before the Equinox.
