Busy Day

Today was a day that a few things were worked on..
...Updates to follow!

Awning Work Continues

We had issues using the old awning rail-  so we have used the actual wall mounts that came with the awning. Here is a photo:

(Please excuse the night shot-but I was too excited  about visiting with my granddaughter after we had the awning up!)

Wall Sconce Install

We were amazed at the size of the hole in the wall when we disconnected the old fixture.

...But our amazement did not stop there-

The light fixture itself is of poor quality.  I have been married to a Carpenter long enough that I even  noticed the glass fixture was not mounted level.

It did not state LED bulbs but I thought the price was high enough that there was a decent chance of it having  LEDs - It does not.  It is also designed poorly.  You will have to remove the fixture from the wall to change the bulb unless you have fine delicate fingers and hands.

Shower Door Removal

We have hated the shower door slider from the beginning so we decided to change it out before our trip in a couple of months.
 This is what it looked like-


Here are a few photos of the clean up process-
.We used Goo-Gone Caulk Remover to help clean up the sides and top front of the bathtub/shower area. .


And here is how it looks before we add the shower curtain & rod:

Living Room Lighting

We are updating the old fashioned light fixture that is on the wall between the sofa and dining table.
Here is a photo of the current light fixture:



Here is the manufacturer's photo of the replacement fixture:

 I have taken this photo of it as it is waiting to be installed-

Cabinet Handles

Guess what happens when you take this-



...and subtract these from the mix?


You get these!

Yes- We are changing out the old cabinet handles for these new ones.  Here is a photo of the new and old- side by side.

Fridge Cabinet Redux

As some of you know - we had a "refrigerator compartment failure" when we went to Quartzsite almost 2 years ago. (This was caused by the DH trying to leave me as much space under the fridge for storage.) We were able to do something to keep it propped up, but we are now looking at taking another trip that is not a short jaunt from home- so we must rebuild the fridge area...
Here is what we have done so far:

• Fir strips on the side that are all the way to the ground-

• A "box" that has been built to contain some of the cooking items that I will store there-

• The Fridge "base stand" that it will set on for stronger support-

The fridge will be strapped in from the top back and a front lock will be added after it is remounted.
