Home Improvement Today?

I'm a big fan of plantation shutters.....

 

Had these installed awhile back.....Now just waiting to save money for next 6....

 

This is how my wife decorated the hutch/pie safe that we found

 

We thought of getting a larger house but in the end we opted for a smaller house, eventually it will just be the two of us and my wife said she'd rather have a smaller house thats easier to clean than a huge house that we couldnt take care of. I agreed with her. Even at that we have 3 bedrooms 2 baths kitchen, living room and dining area.

 

Not done yet but spent lot of the day working on the dogs kennel. Siding is like 80% done. Roof is all shingled and good to go. Just need to make the door and finish the siding and the outside will be done. Then onto the inside to build a "dog house" .

 

After being shorted clips, screws, drip edge and butyl tape I was able to finish the metal roof today

 

My 1950's metal cabinets post install...before my wife decorates( they are laundry room cabinets though)

 

Came out good.

 

I've got a shed like that. It has a staircase and attic. Thought about a metal roof to replace shingles but don't know how to do it safely. Can't afford to call THE GUY.

 

Luckily I work for a scaffold company and 'borrowed' some for this project.

 

Thanks....it was more like doing automotive bodywork than cabinets...I was a little out of my comfort zone...by the time I hit the rough cut oak shelves ..I was fine again

 

I still don't think a scaffold would help.

 

I don't know the height or layout of your property but I could not have done the roof without scaffold.

 

Mine has a covered front porch.

 

Here is an idea of how a pickup has changed in 47 years.

 

Base is finished as is door trim I coped all of the corners on base vs just doing a mider and I like the cope a lot never used that meathod before now
Also all translation pieces are done. Just need to do some touch up paint and change out the door hardware and this remodel is just about wrapped up

 

Maybe be it's just me, but I notice details... make the handle hardware match the hinge hardware. I see mismatches all the time everywhere!

 

Oh it will! Drives me nuts as well. Going to do the bronze hardware throughout to compliment the flooring. I hate gold / brass hardware almost as much as I hate ivory plugs, switches, and cover plates

 

Looks like we have the same flooring.

 

Thank you!! I did the walk-through on my dads final inspection (elderly, undergoing cancer chemo blah blah blah) found SO many little things like hinges not matching hardware... even found different screws used in one closet door hinge. That shit drives me bananas!
