I had my floors laminated by a friend’s friend who said he knew how to do it, which I have since found out he really didn’t. Now, I have to fix it. I have to re-do the stairs and put trim up along the walls to adjust how the floors appear to meet the walls. I will also need to re-do the cabinet mounting in my kitchen to install headers and spacers, but this, I chalk up to inexperience and simple stupidity. I don’t have all the tools YET to accomplish what I need to do, but I’ll be doing the upgrading using my resourcefulness, beginning with this contest.

My husband promised me, that if I worked real hard at getting better, (I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome) he would renovate our very large home so that we could sell it and downsize to something much more manageable. I spent 9 weeks at a specialty clinic, learning to do my part, came back to about 90% of my self (they predicted I would be lucky to only make 30%). So now it is my husbands turn, I have already spent last summer having 16 garage sale trying to sell off the remainder of my business, so now the garage needs to be completely emptied out so that we can repalce the cement floor then the driveway, then on to the basement, he started and stopped about 5 times. He has half painted the inside of the house, so that has to be finished, he has layed about 2/3rds of the hardwood floors, but stopped that about 18 months ago, and now the outside of the house needs paint and the fence has to be replaced. Hopefully once he actually gets it all done, with my help, he won’t do what he did 6 years ago. After doing some renovations and painting then, and finding a buyer for the house, he decided that he still liked out house to much to leave.

My home improvement resolution this Spring is to clean out my garage.

I once heard an urban myth that people actually park cars in their garage. It seems like an long lost dream. After 15 years of living in the same house, the truck has lost the battle of king of the garage. The clutter has won. I’ve come to the conclusion that clutter equals stress. The plan is to build a seperate building, out back, for storage/workshop. And the garage would once again be use for its rightful purpose

I plan to maintain and to improve as time and money permit.

New tools would jump start a lot of projects I’ve procrastinated on.

I plan to keep things maintained and to update and improve as we can.

i am going to finally add the third bathroom that i keep talking about

Our Spring Project is to do our basement and garage flooring.

My wife and I have dared ourselves and we have just got to do IT.
