What home improvement work did you do today?

Did you buy new doors or just repaint yours? I'm looking to do something with our cabinets, but pretty sure I will need to replace at least the doors.

 

In W Glacier, I’d expect the ground to be white by now...

 

Dont jinx it! Actually been only one hard snow, then a couple weeks that were warm...

 

We reused the existing. We used TSP to clean them. Then i sanded them all, primed, rolled and sprayed. It was alot of work but came out nice.

 

Like some others who posted....
Got the lights up also....
love this time of year.

 

Bathroom drywall was sanded down to a smooth finish today. Still waiting on the tile guy to come over and get the ball rolling.

 

Hard to see but getting new coping/flagstone deck/tile and pool replastered. I’ll post pics when done and sealed.

 

Put up the lights in the neighborhood again. Every year there's a few of us that put these up and string them from house to house. Couple houses are the power suppliers. All the strands work, the top one just wasnt on the timer yet as its hard to get full visual with just the lights. There are 16 strands from different houses running about 100 yards of street.

 

That is awesome of you all. That just lifts my spirits and I assume everyone loves it!

 

Not much to see, but the kitchen cabinets arrived today. Drywaller is starting tomorrow morning laying down some mud and corner bead in the kitchen. Slowly coming together.

 

There used to be a street in Austin that was known for their X-mas lights. All the neighbors would decorate and there was one guy that would have put Clark Griswold to shame. He would have a path that went around his house and at the end of it was his electric meter with a donation bucket attached to it. That thing would just be spinning like crazy. Good times.

Found an old picture of it:

 

From the look of your truck tires, I would have expected your wreath to be a bit heftier.

 

Just in time for secret santa delivery's.

 

Hot damn, need to step up our game!

 

But if you did it in a home the yes and hell yes!

 

Had 4000 lights on the tree, 900 on the house. Have another 2100+ lights to go.... I bought a lot of lights at half off last year from Walmart on the day after Christmas.


Pulled the truck onto the sidewalk and an 8' ladder in the bed to get up in the tree

 

Got the last of the leaves cleaned for winter and got lights done...

 

Nice color Frenchie.

 

Lol we got a verbal shaming from Environmental Health and Safety at work for putting a step ladder in the bed of a Gator to hang a banner.

 

Tile finally getting started in the house. The crew got it all out in two days and started laying today. Can’t wait to stop by and see how it looks.

 

Where's that dude's safety glasses and ear pro?!?

 

I don’t think he cares.

 

I work industrial construction... it's second nature for me to be wearing PPE to change a light bulb any more.

 

Makes sense. Most construction down here is home condo based. I don’t see many contractors wear anything. If you go on a major job site it is different. I have been doing rigging on boom/snorkel lifts for many years. I just started wearing fall harness in the last two years. Not cause anyone told me I just don’t want to die now that I have kids.
