Re: House Projects
A few weeks ago I built a work bench for the garage. It's 8 feet long and 30 inches wide. The bottom shelf is 18 inches wide. It's nice to have a garage big enough to park my car inside and have enough room to work on the bike infront of it and still have the door closed.

Re: House Projects
Our furnace room was getting cramped, full of misc boxes we've never got around to unpacking. So did a lil thrifting and found a deal on Craigslist for a pair of 8ft wide shelves from the old Blaine Dodge dealership. Furnace room looks 100 times better now!

Re: House Projects
Decided to redo the entry way flooring and the upstairs two bedrooms while im at it, new carpet in both rooms as well as nice stone looking vinyl in the entry. Easier to clean up and dont want to deal with tile there. Cant wait till its all done in a couple weeks.
Also decided to rip out the balusters on our railing to finish the wood flooring in the living room, thats all thats left besides moldings. Waiting on menards to send me square balusters instead of the twirly old fashioned ones that houses seem to come with these days.

Re: House Projects
Painted our basement and added a little trim to separate the theater from the pool/bar area. Finally installed my seamless gutters. New carpet in the hallway and living room upstairs and down the stairs to the basement. Last week did new laminate granite appearing countertop and was up til 1am this morning installing the mosaic tile backsplash. Next is to wrap up my bar project using the old center island countertop with scrap lumber my $50 bar project.

Re: House Projects
Not really much of a project, but figured I'd share anyway some of the rooms we've setup now with some new furniture we got on uber sale.
We had thought about getting a built in sort of setup for the TV upstairs when we built, but decided against it. So instead we got a 20% off coupon in the mail and got this instead. It was already on clearance, plus the 20% off coupon, not to bad I think.
Also got our sunroom all setup finally. Been waiting to find a nice outdoorsy furniture setup to put in there. These were on sale at Menards, plus the 11% off rebate.
And we finally got the bird feeders out, and found some evidence of visitors. We see tracks for ducks, deer, and squirrels

Re: House Projects
We are really going all out on the finishing our basement now. We are adding a bedroom, bathroom, wet bar, sewing room, workout room, seating counter and family room with fireplace which will be wired for home theater.
Bedroom is framed in except for the front closet wall, going to work on that tonight. Bathroom is framed in completely. Sewing room is well under way and we got all the crap out of down there so it is easier to work. Electrician was in today and got started doing some wiring. We are putting a subpanel in my shop from the main service directly above in the garage.
Bedroom on the right, bathroom on the left.

Re: House Projects
Sewing room almost all framed in. Hard to capture it in a picture because it goes in at a 45 on the left side, then turns straight in and meets the back wall. Double french doors going in the front opening. Need to pop the studs in the back wall tomorrow and get the short wall on the right framed in. Didn't get to the closet in the BR tonight either.

Re: House Projects
Redid our fireplace mantle and TV setup. We went with mosaic Carrara Marble tile for the wall, a slab of Carrara Marble tile for the floor in front of the fireplace, and the mantle is a solid piece of Maple, 8" deep and 4" tall, with 7 coats of polyurethane. We obviously mounted the TV, added an HDMI outlet box and power box in the wall behind the TV so all the wires are hidden, then ran AudioQuest HDMI cable through the wall and into another HDMI outlet right behind the cable box on the right.

Re: House Projects
Scored a new fridge off CL a few weeks back. Spent a few hours cleaning it up, brought it downstairs, plugged it in, seems to work perfect so far. Fridge stays cool, and freezer freezes ice. It is missing some shelves/drawers, but hey free is free!
