Replacing the $7 Lowe's light fixture/wall sconce in the kitchen nook. Aiming for an art deco theme throughout the house.

Today's project was to attempt to finish the framing of the basement. The last room was the bathroom, and unfortunately I didn't quite get it done. I need to box in the sewer vent pipes (upper left corner), and I suppose I should put up a wall for the door. Most people like doors on their bathrooms (go figure).

Water and gas pipes moved some of the wiring complete, still a work in progress

..... on 4/21/2012 Alsfeld - Germany. Is so funny. This vehicle comes from the area. Binford Tools is a fictional manufacturer of the TV-Sitcom "Home Improvement" with Tim Allen as the lead.

We are in the process of moving the laundry room into the mud room out back. Phase two will be expanding the kitchen into the laundry room.

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.

A coat of paint is the fastest, most cost-effective way to give your home an instant makeover!

Home Remodeling in Bergen County NJ. This cape conversion is in the early stages of it's home remodeling. The roof has been removed earlier today and we are preparing the home for the evening by covering it with 1 large 60x40 tarp

Both sides of shelves are up. So now its time to hang the middle bit.

Project 365 A Photo a Day...

Had the oven resurfaced. Amazing and eco-friendly!!

 

We had two cables (one network and one coax for tv) running out of the laundry room for a long time, and they crossed the doorways of two rooms which (a) looked tacky and (b) were a tripping hazard.

 

I finally decided to fix it, and ran a conduit from the laundry room to the closet of the far room, then ran the coax through the wall of the closet to the tv; and ran the network cable out of the closet to a switch. No more tripping over cables, and no more packing tape on the floor! Woo-hoo!

 

And yes that's a wireless router... but I like to have a hardwired connection for my desktops for faster file transfers between them.

Part of me doesn't want to put the crappy furniture back in.

Take a look at the old wallpaper. It's really a shame that they painted over this. It's very historical. February 2007.

Handle less Kitchen Doors is just not pleasing to the eye , it can also gives your existing kitchen the appearance of a clean, uncluttered and timeless look.

Every time I do a home-improvement project, I'm reminded why having a shitload of tools makes every project easier. These are the things I used to screw some shelves down onto some shelf-brackets. It's a long story.

Addition in the outbuilding

We're extending our porch by about 6 feet x 12 feet. We're doing this so that we can have an outdoor fireplace (look behind that red shovel). Rusty gazes upon our project in his customary back yard position. For some reason he really loves to sit with his hindquarters higher than his front paws.

Rewire and final fix complete so bedroom stripped!

Somehow the overgrowth got away from me and I finally noticed we could no longer see the house! It started when I paid the handiman to paint the shutters, and later realized I couldn't see them. I wish I could have done more with the tree guy today, but it's a start and I can enjoy my favorite maple once again!

View On Black

 

I am not the handiest guy around when it comes to home improvement, but I decided to take a shot at installing some landscape lighting at Casa Heretic.

 

Not bad, if I do say so myself.

Before photo

I have NEVER liked these floors!!! Replacing them has always been on our to do list, but we just were never in agreement on what to replace them with. A friend of mine whose husband is a woodworker gave us a suggestion and the varnish and WOW what a differenece it made in the playroom. This is a project that I got to do!!! I still do not like the floor BUT with the varnish and wax it makes them look 100% better.
