What home improvement work did you do today?

As most here know, I got hitched back in June,and June was a busy month for us as for planning our ceremony to be held here at our home along with the front porch reno going full tilt.
With the generous coin we received from family and friends from our wedding we had these made for our porch to complete it.

We know "a guy" out in Wyoming who worked patiently with me designing some of the pieces and it came yesterday, and we couldn't be more pleased with how it came out.
The hardware for the swing is all 304SS and rated 1,200#, my now wife is a Heffer of 103# lol,so I wanted to make sure it holds up when she gets on it.
I had also designed a branding iron with the the first letter of our last name along with Est.2024. It should be here next week and once it arrives we'll brand each piece of furniture together to make it ours.

 

What a transformation! the project came out amazingly well. The furniture absolutely sets it off. Good luck to you both.

 

Thanks Brother for the kind words,it has been a busy summer with a shit ton of house projects which has finally come to an end [for now], so now we are going to test the waters in Chillaxing for beginners 101.

Cheers ya'll!

 

You aren't gonna brand your "Heffer" are you?

That turned out great! Congrats!

 

Pretty damn sweet view you have there!
And the bedroom is freaking top notch to.

 

Yeah man that is a Killah view for sure,our Home is our Castle we may as well enjoy it.

Hey, just slightly to the left of 12 O'clock, mid screen,is that a quarry?

 

That table looks bad ass,that buffet with the wrought iron hardware looks pretty slick.

BTW nice choice on the windows,lol,the furniture caught my eye.

 

Very slick man,the incorporated landscape is a cool touch and with the C definitely makes it your's.

 

Yeah everything changes when you shift in Latitude/longitude but it's all good.

 

We've some Mantis' hanging out in the garden.


The wife's been feeding the white one.

 

Natures solution to pesky bugs, a bug. Those are great to have in a garden. They’ll eat the aphids and worms that destroy your garden.

 

Finally got around to refinishing the exterior of the “ADU” or “shopartment” building that my son and his wife are currently occupying at the other end of my driveway. It started life as a one car garage shop type thing that was pretty gross, but handy to have as a shop. We converted it into an apartment and today we finally finished the beautification of it. Wife picked all the finishes, I think she did a great job. We will be doing the same to the main house as time and budget allows.

before when it was a shop:



after converting to apartment and refinishing:

 

Sweet, extra square footage is a plus.
Nice technique making the bricks looking distressed.
Toss a bench seat and a side table to the left of the window.

 

Dont remember if I shared this, so I will start with saying yall are doing some awesome work out there! Love some of the inspiration and love some of yalls views!

We got the MBR setup. Waiting on the new drawer replacement from the damage in delivery bs....


Across from the MBR (same room) we completed the nursery. I have some touch up work to do, but for the most part, it is baby ready... W even have her go bags ready. I havent had the strength to make mine yet, but that needs to happen soon.



I got a couple trailers loaded down from the storm, but the Rona hit and its been a TV binge watching type situation so far:

 

Looking good and by the sounds of it she's is ready to pop.
Nice job with the L'il girls room, the bow window is pretty cool looking to.
Get useto that changing table BC that's your new work bench

Good luck Brother and keep us posted with the new addition

 

Restained the back stairs to add some protection. I did the floor and railings the other day. I can do 2-3 hours then call it quits, enough for one day for this old guy.

 

Nice and neat!

 

The wife and I hung drywall in the kitchen today, man what absolute pain in the ass. Now I get why drywall guys drink at lunch lol
