We've been working hard to get through some items on our home improvement project list since it will likely remain untouched for a while after baby boy is born. Mike, my wonderful stay at home husband, has been taking the reigns on most of it, of course. Here is a quick list of some of the completed projects from the last month:
1) Recessed lights installed in the lounge
2) New post light installed in front yard (involved Mike digging a big trench to run the electrical line). This and the above were done by a professional.
3) Mike and I installed a new light fixture in the front screened in porch area. What should have been a quick, 15 minute job, turned into 2 hours and a trip to home depot. The fixture that was there previously had some very questionable electrical work so we worked together and made it "up to code."
4) The inside stairs risers have been refinished. Towards the end of our renovation, we found out that the stair refinishing quote didn't include this part of the stairs. They wanted $15 per riser! Since we were already over budget and not looking to spend more, we opted to take on this project ourselves. So, one year later, Mike got them all scraped down, sanded and poly urethaned.
5) New windows for our "lounge" (which still need to be stained) and our basement (great improvement for our taped up window panes down there).

6) New stair rail on front stairway.

So, as you can tell, Mike's been a very busy guy! Somehow, he still makes time to have dinner ready for me when I get home. I like this spoiled life!
