Renovations

Some things I intend to do with the house before 2015. Since I'm no longer paying rent, I might as well compensate my parents for accommodating me:

Do A Canal Makeover
Dredge canal, cover canal with concrete slabs, transfer soil to depressed parts of the home lot, landscape frontage

Polgas At Garapata
Have a new doghouse built, have a veterinarian do a hard-core clean-up of the dogs' fleas and ticks ( I believe they have services like these)

Second Floor
Replace the rotting wooden floor planks on the second floor

Ceiling
Replace the ceiling on the ground floor

First Floor
Put tiles on the floor (subject to the homeowners' approval, of course)
