Here's where I am with the home improvements over the past few days:
1. I've gotten rid of 3 bags of misc mailers that have been sent to me. And there's more. I can't believe all the paper mail that just gets sent out.
2. The bees found a new way in. Hello expandable foam.
3. The back porch now has a floor. Okay, to be honest, it always had a floor but it was covered with a quarter to half an inch of leaves.
4. 32 pounds of aluminum cans netted me a little more than $17.00. I bought pizza with that!
5. Organization in the garage. The glass tubing I received for free last year got moved into the glass shop. Extension cords on the floor got placed on the wall. And, the last shelving unit that was in pieces is now built and put into place. Unfortunately for me, there were two small parts missing. The top shelf will now need some strapping to keep it together. There is beginning to be room in there.
6. My grass is beginning to grow in the dead patch in the front yard. This is a good thing.
7. My front window is about to be replaced. The guy is coming by on Tuesday to take measurements and then 4 weeks later, new window. This is a fairly big deal as the front room is about 5-10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house due to heat coming through my single pane old 30+ year window.
8. I also decided it was time to replace the front door. I chose the design. (Here's a picture.) I'm tired of the 1-2 inches of rot on the bottom of the frame. The door has never been replaced, so I'll do it.
This is what I can remember, there was more.
