We have been working on re-doing the kitchen in my old ass house. It's pretty much a disaster at this point.

All sorts of awesome has been happening at my house this fall, mostly in the name of energy efficiency.

New 14.5 SEER 5-ton A/C system, lots of painting, and now today efficiency work up in the attic. I had 5" of insulation added to my attic bringing it R-49 which is what's recommended for Dallas (code in 2002 when my house was built was 12"), had an extra roof turbine vent added, got an attic door tent, and had a radiant barrier applied to the underside of the roof. Basically, all this was done to keep the attic cooler in the summer, keep the air fresh and dry, and keep the A/C or heat inside the house rather than escaping into the attic.

Next up is replacing all the bathroom and kitchen faucets, and come spring add some better ventilation to the garage and add a radiant barrier to the inside of the garage door (garage door faces south).

Who did your gutters? That's on my list of to-dos as well.

shoot me a message if you need gutters. I've been installing them for 15yrs and consider myself to be pretty good at it. ;) This is an old post to quote but ya never know...

my house projects include just installing a projector(freebie) and now doing some homework to find the best paint mix for a wall. Not to mention the other thousand projects which seem to come up non stop with home ownership!

So the the entire in-law clan came from Fargo and stayed with us over the holiday. All of the spare rooms and everything in our new house proved perfect, never felt overly crowded, perfect for having her fam down!

Her dad happens to be a master electrician, owns his own electrical contracting company up there called Fritz Electric. Anyhow, he brought some spare fluorescent fixtures he had laying around with him and a bunch of wire. Spent a few hours yesterday installing them into the "shop" area of the garage. Gathered everyone together like the Griswold's at Christmas, said Let There Be Light, and voila! I turned the brightness down on the camera because there is so much light now that it was making it hard to take pics. So the pics are deceiving a little, it is so nice and brightly lit there now, I love it!

Also put shelves above the lights to get things up off the floor. Also added a shelf right above the rear of the boat stall. And added a bunch of hooks to hang up shovels, brooms, wheel barrow, etc.

Garage feels SOOO much cleaner and spacious now!!
