Rooms To Go still has to deliver one without a scratch (we're on try 4) but this is what it looks like now. We moved the rug from the living room into the dining area under this table.
As part of the effort (since we were patching and painting), we (finally, at long last) removed the brackets for the old baby gates. Our little girl is all grown up!
We were warned by the gentleman we bought our secondhand Rainbow Playset from that weed wackers will take their toll on the wood. He had done his best but over the 7 years he owned it the wood had taken a beating in spots. My solution is to add some protection to the most vulnerable areas, mainly the legs.
I bought some 22 guage steel from Home Depot and using a grinding wheel cut it into strips/pieces to fit around the base of the legs. I made each piece only 3" tall figuring it's only there to protect it from a weed wacker hitting it. I only protected 3 of the 4 sides and attached each piece with 4 wood screws.
This is the bare metal after the initial installation.
The finished paint job. Looks a bit purply sometimes, but I think grey was a good choice with the pink tiles.

Once upon time, in a quiet village, stood a small bungalow, which suffered from neglect because its owners didn't have any money to maintain it properly. A sign "for sale" had been standing in the front garden for a very long time, but nobody was interested since the bungalow was of very modern design, which was a sharp contrast to the rest of the historic village. Day after day the wood rotted away and nature slowly took over the garden, until only a complete make-over could help the bungalow to survive...
Early fillage of the closet side -- bins on the floor for each family member's shoes, plus vacuum cleaner, plus bins above.
The first day with the lift was mostly used to move the upper 2x4 cross members to align with the installation of the plywood sheets. A few additional ones were needed at the top of the south wall. 2x4s were "borrowed" from the loft for these.

Fortunately, in their addle-pated redecorating scheme sometime in the 1980's, the previous owners mostly left the living and dining rooms alone, only attempting to create a wainscoting effect by putting up some chintzy floral wallpaper. A good thing, too, because we spend most of our time in these rooms.
Planned Changes:
-Remove wallpaper
-Wainscoting below chair rail
-New paint above chair rail
-New light fixtures
-New window coverings
We got a new bathroom set (shower curtain, rug, towels, etc.) for our guest bathroom a few weeks ago and decided we wanted to repaint the bathroom. We took the plunge yesterday and bought paint and Summer painted the bathroom all by herself.
This is (obviously) from before she actually started.
More importantly, when the guy dug down (jackhammering through the concrete in the basement), he found a problem with the angle pipe.
The shelves and bookcase sides were planed, trimmed and needed dado cuts made. I gave put it together to test the fit of the joints before gluing it up. The shelves needed another quick run through the planer to thin them down a bit.

DIY Task: Install dimmers for fixtures with more than two light bulbs. It's part of a DIY Saturday. We wired this one backward which resulted in kitchen lights turning off when this switch was turned up.
We were able to complete the project in a short amount of time. Still need to figure out how to change the timing of the lights. Still, pretty thrilled with the traffic light.
