Re: The Home Improvement Thread
going to replace a couple of puck lights in the ceiling this weekend. one in the laundry room, one in the living room. it's not fun, but it's easy enough electrical work that I don't need to pay someone else to do it.

Re: The Home Improvement Thread
power washing poop away sounds satisfying
doing like whole fences, house siding, and pavers etc is mega time consuming and I prefer to just pay a pressure washer guy to do it
i used to try but just don’t have the time
it’s messy too

Re: The Home Improvement Thread
Put a new runner on my stairs this past weekend. 
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Yes there can be big jobs, but I don’t have a ton of those on the docket. Gotta pressure wash the stained cement caps on my city deck wall though. Neighbor did hers and looks great.96583UP wrote:power washing poop away sounds satisfying
