I will never have a weekend to sit around and do nothing. Its been 3 months now and every weekend so far I''ve been either painting, tearing carpet out, installing floors, cementing misc. crap around the house, chopping down trees, installing a sink, counter tops.... the list will never end. I find myself watching home improvement channels late at night when I can't sleep.
What the hell happened to the carefree renting days when all I had to do was call the landlord.

I've been given so many tasks to complete "around" the house whilst I am off work so I decided to do a little of my own. This week's projects are....

• Install new coach sensor lights above garage
• Install new sensor coach light by front door
• Install new garage door opener (the old was is at least 10yrs+ !

Better get your Home Depot / Lowes charge card now (lol) It is rewarding though, have fun

car from ground up, so it takes me 6 hours in between buying curtain rods and hardware all over town. I think I need to go for a drive in the woods or something.

Once you've done the "needy" things (curtains, carpet, doors etc) you get started on the fun stuff (spas, pergolas, BBQs, new things for the kitchen)

Just imagine how much fun you'll have making your garage look like this....! ;)

and anyway, someone always has it worse. As a reminder of this, I submit these photos circa January 2002. :)<ul><li><a href="http://www.ofoto.com/BrowsePhotos.jsp?UV=767836727762_29652948303&US=0&collid=66822948303">Floating House Redux</a></li></ul>
