Winter Projects

Doug has a favorite saying: "That is a Wintertime Project". Said whenever we need something done inside. This extends to assembling children's beds, changing light bulbs, etc.


And, while I was gone this weekend to my niece's wedding, it snowed. Maybe it's winter enough? Possibly...he actually started working on my number 2 item below! (!!!) I'm very excited.


So here's my short list for him this winter:
  • Tiling! The kitchen and our bathroom really need help finishing tiling projects that are already started. A backsplash for the kitchen wouldn't come amiss, either.
The previous owners had this tagged as a plaster project. Behind the stove? Really?
  • Children's beds: a captain's bed for Bonnie (maybe) and fixing the bunk beds for the boys.
Bed pieces stacked against the basement wall. Useful place for them.
  • Light bulbs (seriously): The kitchen has a halogen lamp that I cannot figure out. Maybe he can get the @#&! bulb out so we can have light over the sink. Or maybe I'll just find a new fixture. I could do that alone...
  • Update the bath hardware in the kids' bath. The hardware is already there (purchased by the previous owner), we just have to put it in. It would be nice to have a decent showerhead in my shower, too, but I might be pushing things here...
  • Add cabinet hardware in the kitchen. My fingers are getting tired of prying the drawers out and opening cabinets. Perhaps a lovely bin pull for the bottom cabinets and something a little more funky for the top cabinets?
  • Finish the stair railing. Again, the pieces are there, we just need to add them to complete the project.
Trim details are important...if you like finished projects. (Me! Me!)
  • Basement bathroom. This will be a big project, but even if we get just the drywall done, it will be such a happier place in there. 
The spraypainted wall. And no, we didn't do that.
Guarantee I'll come up with more if I sit here much longer, so we'll call it good for now. : )
