Earlier this year, you showed us your hundreds of incredible home remodels. See which ones were finalists, and get ready to enter your own in the 2013 Reader Remodel Contest
We worked every day from sun up to sun down for five years. Not sure if we will ever do a renovation on this scale again, but we loved it and now have a home to call our own. We renovated to our standards and used our talents. Rather than replacing historical elements, they were salvaged and saved. We learned to have the courage to do things we've never done before, and our marriage is stronger for it.
Who did the work: I did most of the work myself. Cost: $25,000–$50,000
