Honey Done

Added:

>
  • back door closer
  • install automatic garage door opener. It turns out that after all the trouble of hanging the opener Vic didn't like parking in the garage (the door was too narrow) so now my motorcyles park in the garage and the cars park outside.
 
  • can we put the upstairs hall light on the switch below it? - Nope..
  • move chandelier fixture in dining room
  • fix upstairs bathroom tile.
Line: 46 to 45
 
  • dining room door hinge (was held together with moly bolts and toothpicks. It's not fun cleaning up after a hacker)
  • rip up front walk, replace with something less tarmac Hired a local contractor to do the work, a guy named Andy Shumway. My Mom suggested running the walk around the side of the house to the driveway and that seemed to make sense so we did, and it worked out really well. The work was slightly more expensive than we hoped but we saved a little bit of money when Andy jackhammered the concrete pad in front of the front door and found a huge slab of granite *inside* the concrete. The previous owners had evidently taken a nice granite step, encased it in concreate and then painted the concrete Navy grey. At least it looks good now.
  • New dryer
Added:

  • wiring in dining room is nasty - run behind baseboards - not going to happen - there's no cellar under there so no place to run the wires.
