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 Grommit thinks of home improvement.

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.

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.

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!

These always bugged me. Today, they go.

Our new kitchen goes from a little too country to a little more rock 'n roll.
