One of the most productive weekends I’ve had in a long time.
In all honesty I do applaud this effort. Feels good to get shit done. But the first three items on that list can’t have taken more than about 5 minutes combined.
The faucet/sprayer job is an annoying bitch, though.
True, but they are the type you keep forgetting about and tell yourself “I’ll get to them next weekend”. Getting sink parts I remembered about the filters.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I've got to do our furnace filter and faucet/sprayer as well. I think the furnace filter will take a lot longer because it's my first time servicing this model. It's the first time there's both an upflow/downflow filter, and I don't know what kind they are. So I'll have to get into my crawlspace, figure that out, then go to Home Depot, then come back and install. That's like an hour.
upflow and downflow filters? That sounds fancy.
crawlspace? no thanks.

I removed a ceiling light and sawed off the bracket, redid the existing wiring, and then installed the ceiling fan bracket and ceiling fan in 3 hours on Saturday. It was my proudest moment as a homeowner.

If changing your furnace filter counts as home improvement I do a lot of home improvement.

That is quite the accomplishment. And in three hours no less.

I do, but I don't think I'll be particularly helpful.
We probably should get around to de-scaling it.
