Projects and Honeydo's
When the agent says, "Charming, but it could use a little touching up."
She means, it's a fixer.
When the Mrs. says, "Honey, ..."
I'm the fixer.
Washer/dryer hookup before...
Converting the dryer to liquid propane:
Add a little insulation and drywall,
... and after.
Tah-dah!
I hate plumbing. Turn this:
...into this. A new garbage disposal!
The refridgerator is 1" too wide. No problem.
Need a lift? New mattress weighs 350 lbs.
Not exactly spiral staircase friendly.

A new walk-in closet:
And now for the great outdoors...
The basement windows are more like wishing wells, with plugged up drains:
Dig out the pipes and flush them:
Let's put the barn over there...
We will need power. This pedestal can be re-energized.
But first we will have to dig a trench and sink a grounding rod:
Happiness is an electric meter with a reading of zero!
Next, remove the basketball court, concrete, rocks, trash...
Everywhere you look, piles of stuff left in the weeds.
Barbed wire, chain link fence, rotting lumber, and trash...
Re-hung the gate to the corral,
Built some steps for mounting the horses,
Give the horse feeder to the nay-bors,
and think about where to put the new fences...
The house came with a two-car garage,
but the outside deck that was built required additional support.
A support post was placed right in the middle,
making the garage impractical, if not inaccessible.
We decided to convert the garage into a family room,
and have a garage/shop/barn built on the property...
That's enough for one day. ;-)
Construction on the barn has begun.
Your turn to shovel the driveway, dear...
But wait! There's more!!
