Whattup Horsey-holics,
I'm back to update you all on my goings on just like I said I would so...
I guess I’ll get started with the second reason of topic #1.
The second reason I haven’t been online is because, thankfully, spring has arrived. But if you are a homeowner than you know that being a homeowner in the springtime means TONS of home projects.
My web site business has suffered a little from this as well and as soon as I get these projects done I will definitely be hitting my web sites hard again to get them back on track and growing.
I had a lot of crap to get done and I wanted to get it done before June so that I could play for the rest of the summer and not have to worry about it. I have had some good help from my wife, mom, dad, sister, and brother-in-law so it hasn’t totally sucked.
My wife has always made fun of me because I am not well known for having a tool or yard object in my hand and doing something positive with it but I have really stepped up my game and I am really getting pretty decent at this home improvement thing.
Now I wouldn’t call myself Bob Vila yet but I’m getting there. Maybe Barbara Vila but hey it’s a start.
So far here is a list of the spring projects I had to do that are finished. Again, I did have some help so I can’t take credit for doing this all solo. Just wanted to throw that out there for my wife’s sake ;-):
- Bust wood for 4 trees (about 15 truckloads)
- Built log holders and stack wood
- Put up privacy fence along the back fence line
- Put up a privacy gate
- Built a 30 x 20 garden
- Painted the privacy fence
- Painted the shed
- Painted the privacy gate
- Painted the kid’s play gym
- Tore down and rebuilt grandfathers porch roof
- Stripped and stained the deck
- Hauled out and installed a washer/dryer, 2 deep freezers
- Got rid of the hot tub in the garage and got the garage back in order
- Put together a 4 piece tool bench and cleaned out parents garage.
- Tilled the garden and flowers beds
- Put together a new shelving unit for my mom’s dish and laundry supplies
- Had the house power sprayed (outsourced)
- Got a new roof put on the house (outsourced)
- Power sprayed the driveway and sidewalk
- Cleaned up my tool area
Things that still need done:
- Put up a privacy fence along the side to finish the yard.
- Finish odd and in projects inside the house like adding fancy faucets, light fixtures, new ceiling fan, a little painting, etc. (regular home improvement maintenance).
- Install a new sliding back door
- Finish the basement
- Replace hardwood floor in dining room.
- Replace tile in kitchen and bathrooms.
Now that’s what I call a list. Not bad for a couple months time huh?
Some of the unfinished projects are going to take a while to get done but they will get done eventually.
Well, that's all I have time for for now so next week I’ll get started with the second topic that i want to discuss.
