OK Mr Trim, today is your lucky day, I am posting so you don’t have to.
The pictures are taken with my PDA, so they are not the best quality. This first picture is me still finishing some cabinet doors going into the laundry room.
These are step stools, bought at IKEA for the short people in our household to reach the upper cabinets going all the way up to the 9’ ceiling.
Working on the closets and pantry. We are using laminated solid pine for shelving. I fini...

Okay, so I went to Sears to purchase their wet saw tile cutter, none in stock, it had to be ordered. Several days later we got the automated voicemail that the saw was ready for pick up. I got the saw home and opened it to find that one side of the metal table top was bent so badly that the hinge wouldn’t work. My wife takes it back the next day and they exchange it for a new one. When I opened the replacement, it also had a bent table top but on the other side now. Back to Sears w...

Just a quick update on the kitchen work this weekend. We had to take back one box of broken floor tiles and ended up picking up two more extra boxes just in case in preparation for the floor tiling next month. I also reworked the doorway btwn the living room and kitchen; I had to rip open one side when we got our new refrigerator since the opening wasn’t wide enough, even after removing the refer doors. The original opening was only 29” wide; I hope to get it to 31.5” wid...

What started out as just replacing a worn out old fence has now turned into remodeling our kitchen. During the residing of the outside wall of the kitchen, we knocked off a couple of tiles from the kitchen counter and back splash. And since I had replaced both kitchen windows and trim during the outside wall residing, we decided to just keep going and remodel the whole kitchen. So we had granite counters installed to replace 4” ceramic tiles and a new stainless steel sink installed t...
