My honey-do list has been dented - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thwe wifey decided that we should re-fi. Inspection is later this week.

So rather than calling for

I bucked up and got the demands nearly done.

1)Installed new cedar decking on porch and stained it.
2)Made a dog access to the porch. He still walked around it and tangled himself in the railing ballusters. I put some bird netting to force him in the right path.
3) Instaled new light in daughters room.
4)Installed new chandelier in master bedroom.
5) Removed old track lighting in family room, painted ceiling and then intalled two new tracks. This flexible stuff is garbage. I learned how to use old bad words in new ways. It's educational too. Golly geeze, thanks!
6) Selfishly Sheet rocked upper & lower garage wall.
7) Fixed my daughters Doodle Bug. Carb was loose. Suddenly it has a flat tire. Arrgh!

Looks good man. Just be careful letting the wife know you can do all that in a short amount of time.

Nice work! Hopefully it will pay off for you, too. Congrats on the refi; we refinanced about a year ago and it's saved us around $150/month since.

Was going to refi but paid off the mortgage instead.
Glad you fixed the sheetrock. I was getting tired of looking at that messy wall.

The porch looks really great!

I've been really slack at my place. I have finished the living room trim and put up the crown and base molding in the guest room. I've been in the garage a lot

It's kinda been on my wish list. The porch was grey spandex. Stuff is great but figured it would be safe to put some holes in, in the covered areas. Thanks

I had to tear out the ceiling again. The shower above was still leaking. It was plumbed in PVC which made for a simple repair. I cut the old out with my 18v recip. saw and replaced it. The wife decided she no longer wanted the roll top in our office room. We decided on some utility cabinets. What a pita! I hate paticle board! Oh well it's done. Back to the shop now.
