Well Annette and I have been here, in Iroquois for a year last month, and have been doing work on the house.
The progress up to now is mostly on this thread
Now it's time to start a new thread for this summers work.
I will try to keep up with pictures as I go along, but sometimes it's just easier to procrastinate....... you know me.
I have changed my mind on the plans so many times this last winter, I don't know where I left off ....... LOLOLOL
As of now, the plan is to put the patio door in the kitchen on the East wall. It will mean removing one baseboard heater.
Also, I plan to divide the living room and make a bedroom on the West wall, and that heater will become useful in there. There is already a heater in that area, but the kitchen one is smaller and will work out better.
I'll have to move the long one, on the south wall, farther to the east, (now under the windows in the living room), to make room for the bedroom wall, however. I'll need at least two more feet, so that shouldn't be too bad. There is a problem with that though.........
It's in the crawl space under the house, and I can't get in there.
I'm too fat.
So is the other heater (over the crawl space), but maybe I can get by with just using the existing wireing, and leave it hooked up with the thermostat with the living room heater, for now.
I'm always looking for ways to save on the work ya know
The patio door will be fairly easy to do, because it will mean using the space where there is now a window, and also taking up the space where the old air conditioner is. (that don't work and needs to come out anyhow) I'll need to put in a header and shore it up more, because it's on the load bearing wall, but that won't be too hard, will it? I will also have to wire in the lights and switch while it's a gaping hole.
More as I get to it...... I'll get some before pictures in here, then we'll see what happens later on. (maybe I'll change my mind again) 
See you in the funny papers
