Joanna got a gift card to buy fancy new shelving for her closet. We bought the materials a few weeks ago and while I was working on the bathroom she started working on her project. She was able to pull the old shelving, patch up the wall and install the main support beam in the first day.

We moved out over Labor Day weekend last year.

The same table, as it looked when I bought it through Craigslist. It was somebody's pottery table.

I'm trying to sell this, cheap, if anyone wants to come and get it!

One of our weekend mini-oprojects. Tackling this closet!

 

Can you find the kitty?

After: This area of the basement was transformed into a large Master Bedroom and includes an oversize walk-in closet. Recessed lighting and separately controlled ceiling fan add a nice touch.

I had some work done on our shower years ago, and I left it unfinished, because I had no energy to go through figuring out what else to do. My spouse took on the project, picking out the floor, vanity, and mirror. We shopped in antique stores and (gasp!) The Mall to get some of the other accoutrements. My contribution was the wall color, which is the same as the tiles that we removed from all around the wall.

 

He did a great job, and we are both really happy to have a bathroom without holes in the walls anymore.

Improving the home is like improving our life. It makes us happy and contributes to the betterment of our lives.

I'm trying to put a new electrical outlet in the kitchen. I have cut the rectangular hole in the wall and stuck a fluorescent light into it so I can find the space between the walls from the attic. I can see the blue light through the crevices between the drywall sections when I move the insulation aside, and they're narrow so I must drill. Drill I do. But the light that comes out of the hole, despite it being in line with the blue light from the fluorescent, is yellow. Uh... Apparently it went through at an angle, into my livingroom.

 

Yes, I own a pint of spackle and (I think) I have more of this paint color in the can... arrrgh. The scene was much funnier when I had two feet of Romex wire hanging out the hole.

Despite the small area I ended up with a lot more debris than I thought I would.

The bedroom floor couldn't be refinished because of some termite damage in the corner. So we are putting carpet back in.

One of our weekend mini-oprojects. Tackling this closet!

I used the circular saw to cut the floor boards into smaller pieces which made them easier to rip up with a pry bar.

Now all that is left is to install the concrete board.

We have this ridiculous old concrete slab in our side yard -- it's where the old landing for a stairway used to be (this has been moved since the house was renovated).

 

Anyway, it's a huge tripping hazard in the dark and when I try to move trash cans in and out. I figure it's time to remove it. I rented a demolition hammer from Home Depot and went to work. That thing is FUN.

This is the first, and bigger, of the two stoops I had made for the house.

I replaced the stair treads on Mom & Jack's front steps. Stephen is going to remove the stripped screws for me. Recycled pastic, low skid treds. Next I need to paint the risers.

We successfully removed the rot and dried out the boards overnight and this morning we put down new felt paper and metal lath to pour the self-leveling compound over. I can't tell you how good it feels to be done with the demolition. Things are clean, prepped and almost ready for tile!

Unscrewing the cabinet from the wall.

Done. Only a few more steps left. The rolled up carpet is being used as a door stop for now. Until I get the floor trim up and install a door stop the carpet will prevent the door handle from punching a hole in our new walls.

My desk. Another curbside find. It was smoke-and-water damaged in a house fire. The finish is shot, but it's structurally sound...and HUGE!

 

The best part about having a trashed desk is that I don't have to worry about marring its looks. Thus this thing doubles as a soldering station, saw brace and whatever else is needed.
