Today's home improvement, replacing rope on kayak hoist and installing new antler chandelier, thanks kurt for loaning me 14'ladder.

More framing for grapevine expansion

Almost done, just add water and plug in

Great exercise for your back is to shovel 8" of dirt out , 4" of base in , level & compact, install pavers, sand and compact again,now for sealer and hotub...

Replacement of Bruce engineered wood 15 years later it seems they no longer make t&g , so I had to use click lock , amazing how 15 years of foot traffic ages .

Working on window treatments

Base board installed, paint touch up, getting the spare room/ man cave finished today.

Sanding with 220 then another coat of poly today

2 coats poly today

Gunstock stain after sanding the inside corners, closets remain old color still in good shape.

Removing 15 yo stain and poly needs a drum sander,orbital sander didn't work, then rented a edge sander, ready for stain soon.

Finish wood flooring started burning...

Screen doors hung with spring hinges, shopping locks now

Working nights and weekends to install composite decking and screen on front porch, I am making dbl 30/80 doors with cedar 2x4 $20 each now, but still cheaper than buying doors,
we hope to leave front doors open on cool days when they get here. Still running a/c .
Bought a new kreg tool for joining wood and using my bisque joiner.

Grout the ceiling tiles tonight and lights still working, disco shower

Finally decided what tile to install in garage kitchen/ bath, now to choose a grout color

Using up leftover tile getting the garage bathrooms done

After 14 years in my backyard I found a use for 20 pieces of left over tile, upstair bathroom almost done.

Getting ready for some tile, got my red guard on and my mud bed down, mastic on some durarock, a little each day, except tomorrow is River time kayaks loaded.

making short doors, installing sinks, moving toilet drain, hard to find a good plumber so, DIY

Got some crown molding left overs so started prepping for 5" crown, but looks like 8" Hardy board siding is going to work better, why not ?
I have been busy installing electric trim, not much to photograph...

Doors painted

Finally installed garage doors, ordered a year ago and sitting in shed since April , my door guy says price almost dbl now, PTL

I haven't updated the garage build in a while, the past couple weeks the drywall hanging tape and bed, but today we sprayed the texture, so now I am shopping for paint and tile.
