    Got vinyl plank laid in the front bedroom today. This is the plan for most of the house.

    Brought a sheet of plywood up a ladder. House was built in 1901. I renovate them.

    Did some tongue and groove on my patio



    Then discovered my roof needed replacing


    Then while I was stuck at home while the roofers were here I decided to frame in my den to turn it into a bedroom and be able to reconfigure my living room the way I want.

    That’s some serious scope creep you have there. I really like the tongue and groove on the patio ceiling. Nice work.

    That sir is an excellent use of the term scope creep which you don't hear often! This is the perfect example haha

    I like the T&G and will probably be doing this to my porch this spring or summer.
    Where did you get the T&G and what are your plans for "finishing" it?

    My family is in construction so one of our vendors supplied it. And I stained it with a light oak stain, the pic posted is before I stained it

    NOT today’s project, but spanned over the last month when I had free time. Started with doing a shiplap accent wall (for my better half) in master b/r.
    That led to playing “just the tip” doing shiplap wall in the eat-in kitchen. As everyone knows, that never ends there-so that led to the kitchen also getting wood.
    Actually made a huge difference in the house, and brightened everything up. It’s a small-ish 3/2 and only 1250sqft, so the appearance of more space is an added benefit.

    My 40’x105 garage is moving along. My steel erectors are going to work through the weekend and get all the wall panels, windows and doors installed. I should have the insualtion and roof on by the end of next week. A0161F6B-7D2A-44AE-B325-334DB9ED6924.jpg
    The Doug Fur timber’s and trusses started to go up this week. This is going to be the main focal point of the center of the barn.

    I can't stand dark garages/workspaces and my garage is probably the worst to work in. I decided to do something about it.

    Ordered these LED lights:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F2WMCP2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    and
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GPFDL1K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I installed a box and cover, ran the romex and started hanging lights and covers.

    These new LED lights are so bright. Hard to tell, but the florescent lights in the picture are on. That's how bright the LED's are.

    I need to hang 8 more lights, and order more cable cover to make this a clean install.

    @ColoradoTJ I'm thinking along the same lines for my garage. I was gonna hang a few tube fixtures but seeing that, I'd be foolish to. That's much more efficient and brighter.

    This picture doesn't do it justice either. The mistress was going to put on sunglasses when going through this part of the garage to her side.

    The Dirty T

    Looks good I installed the same type in my garage and have been pleased by them, but be careful. Those little clips that hold them up will fail. I added a small dab of epoxy to the clips on each side after installing and also stapled a small strap of safety wire across the middle of each light because after about 6 months one fell (even with the epoxy) and almost hit the hood of my wife's car.

    Thanks for the heads up. Will hang with some safety wire.

    That would so blow ass if one dropped down and hit the vehicles, let alone my forehead.

    The directional LED's I installed alongside the ceiling LED's have been incredibly useful when working on cars and such.

    Good call, when I get to the point of setting up my garage I'd like a few directional, or amiable ones. Particularly above the work bench and the tool boxes for the inevitable night missions.

    I put up the other 2 LED lights, and added 2 slightly more powerful ones facing the back yard. It lights up pretty good back there.

    Here's the comparison, it's just a few more lights and more charging area.
    20200208_090528.jpg

    Heres one of the smaller size ones, it's right above my regular light and lights up the patio okay.
    20200208_183456.jpg

    Heres that one and the 2 bigger ones that face my grass. Pretty big difference.
    20200208_183529.jpg

    Here is my walkway to the driveway, now with 2 lights instead of one. I can probably trim my rose bushes or cut the grass at night now.
    20200208_183622.jpg

    I'm damn near ready to bolt a pair of these up to my front bumper. :D

    Interested in hearing a follow-up after 6 months or so to see if these are still working as good as they do now.

    Yeah I'll follow up, I'm pretty curious how they'll handle the Southern California Summer. My brothers house is in a hotter area and his have been fine.
