Celeste and I, having recovered from some of our earlier home improvement projects, have decided to start on some major projects that we hope to have completed by the end of the summer.  We began the process by ordering a dumpster (see the picture on the left) from Waste Management so we can demo a bunch of our house quickly and without dozens of trips to the dump.

Hopefully we’ll do a better job than some of the folks featured in the Home Inspection Nightmares section of the This Old House website.  I’ve written about the site before and they recently added a new gallery, of which my favorite is the alternative ambient floor heating system pictured here:

Compare that to the system we inherited and I think we might have found the culprit who did both.
