First coat of paint. Hopefully the result is not too reflective, or it'll look 'off' from the color of the TV stand.
Inside the new two-car garage. It has full 100 amp electrical service and plenty of room for a workbench.
This time last week, this was a blank wall. Yes, I know some of the frames are empty. I am working on it!
Here's the huge mound of concrete from the excavation. About 2 feet high and 3 feet wide and 8 feet long!
The kitchen with a nice mopped floor. I think this is the cleanest that the kitchen has been in many, many years.
Tiling an old exposed aggregate patio with porcelain with a sandstone look. The aggregate we started with.
A surprising amount of equipment was required just to repair the threshold. Fortunately, everything that I had to buy is pretty generic. Those tools will all be quite helpful on loads of future projects. Also, I swear that the fact that all but one tools is black and yellow has nothing to do with them being Bruin's colors. Stanley and Dewalt just happen to make good stuff. Of course, it does make me happy.
Three stone planters on the top level of the front yard. $50 for all three of them. I love you Craigslist!

For a sleek and modern look to your bedroom, look no further than a platform bed. One of the simplest of all bed frame and foundation setups, platform beds are exactly what they sound like
my dad was nice enough to put together these nice framed pegboards for me to hang in the utility closet... organization!
It's pretty crude, but it will keep dust and (more importantly) cat hair falling into the drying poly. That cats always want to get into the bedroom and the door s obviously off, but the chair and plastic did a surprisingly good job of keeping them away.
new sky light. This was the roof hatch. Replaced with a 38" square skylight. Whole unit lits off for roof access.
The paintings are by Diane Duda. You can see photos of her work on flickr at dudadaze3. I love her work.
