House Projects

Cravin Brothers, they based out of Blaine. They were $1k cheaper than the other quote I got.

Those shelves on the wall remind me of toms work bench hehe jk, lookin good! Maybe just brace them with a couple more braces.

No huge updates, but some small ones. We've mainly been unpacking, and still have lots of wedding presents to go through (which you can see in the garage against the wall). But I have put up some shelving in the garage against the back wall. Going to add a couple more beams yet to make it a bit more sturdy. Also I had a bunch of old ceiling fans that I replaced at my old house still laying around because I couldn't even give them away for free. So I decided to spray paint one of them black and will be hanging it from the ceiling in the garage right above the lexus where you see a bulb. Last thing is we finally got a washer and dryer. Top load HE setup that was dirt cheap from ApplianceSmart in Champlain. Can't even see the scratch/dents :)

BTW if someone else wants to do the same thing with a ceiling fan, I still have one left that I'll give away :) Kinda ugly, but some spray paint makes it perfect for a garage!

:haker:

Geez, once Brandon's house was done this thread died off! Anyone have any good summer projects or planned winter projects for the home?

[A//// Guy]

Projects are always rollin on my end. Bathroom is done, still have to post pics. Been working random small stuff, and on landscaping during the summer -built a retaining wall in front. Going to finish those projects next spring.

Inside over winter Ill be doing the other bathroom - Paint, new flooring, reseal the shower, different hardware, lighting, etc.

Also Im replacing all doors with 6 panel white doors and stainless hardware. Trim will stay natural wood but may paint white later on. Building a media center upstairs with some cabinetry. Debating laminate wood flooring for upstairs as well.

Downstairs Id like to build a wet bar as well.

That should keep my winter busy.

since I moved into my new house, I've had tons of projects going on as well. First thing was getting the lawn in order before fall. Then we had to build out a the master closet as we had the wire closet organizer and they collapsed shortly after we moved in. Ended up going with a custom closet. Lastly, the garage needed to get finished before winter so I could get it heated. Here are some pics from the garage. I didn't think to take pics initially, so I don't have great progress pics, but here are some at least.

Initial garage (trying to clean up the previous owners wiring):

I added 9 recessed lights, 8 outlets, and a ceiling fan. Along with that I wired in four in ceiling JBL speakers all to my receiving by the door.

Some Sheetrock up after doing some insulation.

Ceiling is done!

At this point, I have very little rock left. All lighting in the garage is EcoSmart "Cree" LED bulb/fixtures. Just need to get the ceiling fan up and finish a couple other things. The garage floor will be finished in the spring and hopefully get a 4-post lift in the 3rd stall after getting some final measurements.

Looks really good!

Very nice! Sounds like it's going to be exactly like my dream garage when your finished

[Sparky2211]

Slowly but surely... Its one of those things where I don't have a ton of help and I am stuck doing a lot of it by myself. I did 10' on the ceiling which is 88lb a sheet and 12' on the walls so I could have minimal seams to mud/tape. Hoping to get the walls finished within the next couples weeks and then get the heater plumbed in.

Looks like an awesome garage!
