Weekend Projects

Ahh...Friday...

The day that begins the weekend. A weekend of relaxing...sports...laying in the hammock in the backyard...

Or is it the day you go to Home Depot to get all the supplies for the weekend projects your wife has come up with?

I believe the latter.

Of course, these are things to make our house more "homey" and hopefully help it stand out in a neighborhood where our house will be 1-2 yrs older than some when it comes time to re-sell. The latest in a string of projects is putting in cabinet lighting to show off the granite countertops and black granite backsplash. But, I am also installing a few above the cabinets to match the mood lighting in the living room.

Next is installing cabinets in the washroom. Right now we only have a wire shelf running along the length of the back wall. The plan (as of today) is to get a cabinet unit and mount it above the washer and dryer, and install two (2) four-foot sections of the wire shelving.

Then we get to the garage...earlier last fall, I installed track to hang various tools and yard gear. But, we need to get more organized. More shelves to store more stuff I reckon. Also, I am going to hang a ceiling fan above the workout area. If I get to it, I'd also like to install a lighting fixture above the shower in the master bath.

On to the backyard. The Homeowner's Association will "fine" us if we put our trashcans on the side or front of the house, so we either have to keep them in the garage (think of an oven baking all your trash all day long) or in the backyard. We wisely chose the back. Now I need to put down a small brick patio to put the large garbage can and recycling bin on.

Oh , did I mention we also got some knobs and handles to put on the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen? And if I can find a way to do it, I plan on re-routing the cable in our bedroom from one wall to another....

Man weekends are great, aren't they?!
