This room, besides the bathrooms, was the final one to be done. We still have to get some stuff on the walls, and a table or something, but it looks 1000% better. Since the dogs are the ones who spend the most time in here, I hope they like it.
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...

This is what remains of a nearly unusable flower bed at our front door. The surrounding stone and some of the concrete had been removed a year or so ago. What remains is nearly solid concrete and other methods of removal were useless. Finally we rented a jackhammer to rid our house of this.
Billy is looking on in interest.
Removed old aluminum picture window and replaced with Marvin clad exterior wood double-hung windows.
Old and new kitchen sinks; we replaced our old sink with a stainless steel one and a new faucet, too
Bought from our school-distric-maintenance-man for $15 bucks. Score! We're gonna paint them and put them in our garage/office for storage.

grass carpet has a higher absorption rate than natural grass. This means that it will last longer before requiring any maintenance other than occasional re-taping to retain its beauty.

Rule says: each stairway should have light dedicated to stairs. Said light should be controlled by a 3-way switch, one positioned at the top of the stairs, one at the bottom of stairs. Except for stairs to an unfinished basement.. in that case a single switch at the top of the stairs suffice.
So now I have to change that one-pole switch to a 3-way. that means ripping out the old 2-conductor and replacing it with a 3-conductor NMD.
Well and that I'm moving the light itself from the base of the stairs to the top.. So off to cutting up drywall again.

Sheer curtains are the latest fashion when it comes to window treatments and are designed to provide you with a more spacious appearance and look. They are usually made from sheer, durable, and easy to maintain material, such as cotton, nylon, rayon, or spandex.
Finished product! The drywall has been patched, textured, and painted. The doors have been hung. Even "Flaming June" is back in position.
Photos of our original basement floor before painting. At this point, the floor has been thoroughly vacuumed, scrubbed with TSP and mopped.

Jim's put in some boards on the back wall for the shelf on the right and the vertical barrier in the middle.
