Home projects??

[OSO]

Since my truck is done all i have been able to work on the last two weeks is my house . Anyone else doing any remodeling projects ? Here is what i got done in the last few weeks . I did brake down and pay some one else to hang, tape and float the sheet rock so i cant take credit for that. Paid some one to tile but im to picky so i pulled most of it down recut what i could i just didn't see why all the lines couldn't be level
Only the rest of the house to go

We are adding a 20x30 sun room and 16x30 screened porch on the back of the house. The best tool I've used to date is the telephone. The only thing I'm on the hook for is electrical. I've got all my ceiling fans in and the hot tub hooked up. Once the painters are done I need to throw the outlets and switches in and it will be just about done. That reminds me. I need to go install some flood lights.

I understand completely. With the economy the way it is, contractors are looking for work and are really pretty reasonable right now. One afternoon I thanked one of the guys for doing a good job. He said "Thank you for giving us something to do". So one hand washes the other. We have since recommended our contractor to some other people and a line to wait for him has formed. So he's benefitted by working with us too.

My neighbor asked me for my contractors number that did the Sheetrock i told him i still wanted to be his neighbor so he couldn't have it Some people take pride in there work my guy didn't . I have learned most of the things i know because i don't like most peoples work :dontknow:

I have got a hell of a hookup on Palms. we need to get together, and figure out what you want to do...kind of wrapped up for the next 2 weeks...but should be good after that. Was following the thread on Brad....I know he is in FL, and would love the chance to hook up while he is in. My partner at work got Paramedic of the Year for the State of Florida, so i have to be in Orlando June 30th, and I have some friends down that week, so i am trying to arrange some time off that week. I will see what becomes of it...and we can go from there.
