A blog of a variety of projects
This was a long time ago now, but we have been too busy on uninteresting repair projects for me to be able to keep up with blogging. I started writing this near the end of last year, when our kitchen was nearly done. We have been living with it at…
This project was huge, and it required so much work that there was no way I could have gotten it done myself. We hired a general contractor to demolish the ceiling, build the new wall, and redo the electrical wiring in the kitchen, while I focused on removing the existing…
I was looking around our house for things to fix, and I saw a lot of places where there was a small hole in the drywall caused by a door handle. I was going to patch all of these with drywall, but I knew it would eventually happen again, even…
