Higher, brighter, less ugly, and more storage than the old one. We plan to paint all of the cabinets white to match the shelf and hood.
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.
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...
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.

Jim's put in some boards on the back wall for the shelf on the right and the vertical barrier in the middle.
Our office after redecorating and painting. It's almost all Ikea except the high cabinets. Changed the light fixture, put up Ikea panels on closet, new Ikea desk, chair, rug, and paperwork organizers!
How you store your food goes a long way in determining its longevity and safety for consumption. Bacteria and other harmful microorganisms are all over in the environment. They are too tiny to be seen with the naked eyes. Being extra cautious in your preservation helps to avert several risks. That is where vacuum packing comes into play.
This method involves packaging food in plastic bags/containers after clearing out all the air. It is also known as Reduced Oxygen Packaging (ROP). With no oxygen, aerobic bacteria and fungi won’t be able to grow and result in food spoilage. There are many advantages of using this storage method. Let’s look at the most common benefits in comparison to conventional storage methods.
The main advantage is that vacuum sealers store food 3-5 times longer compared to traditional storage. However, the duration varies from one food commodity to the next and where it is being stored i.e. refrigerator, freezer, or pantry. To start with, chicken meat can last between 6 to 12 months when stored through conventional means while fish would survive for 2 – 6 months.
When kept in vacuum sealers, the meat would still be good even after 2 or 3 years, whereas fish will make it through 2 years. Moving on to vegetables and fruits, the former will have a shelf life of 8 months through conventional storage and 2-3 years by vacuum sealing. As for the fruits, traditional storage can only guarantee a lifespan of 6-12 months while vacuumed bags will keep them in check for 2-3 years.
For the coffee lovers, reduced oxygen packaging is your ideal storage. 1-2 years of storage life beats the usual two weeks by far. The same goes for cereals which move from an expiry date of 2-3 months to 6-12 months.
Bakers will enjoy the convenience that comes with being able to store their products three times longer than the usual 1-2 weeks. All thanks to vacuum packaging. Cooked food, on the other hand, moves from surviving for six months to 1-2 years. Eventually, vacuum sealing helps people to save time and money. Food expenses are reduced since you can comfortably buy in bulk and package the items well for future use.
