Anyone have any on going home construction projects? I know i have been helping a few people with some and even have had my own recently.
My latest was adding ahot tub to my house and getting that all hooked up. The tub was a 1998 Cal Spa that was free , but had a broken house. Everything else on the tub worked as it should. That made a great cheap addition to my house and something to relax in this coming winter.
Itswill had his own home project going on. awfcs and I were helping him with that this past weekend. I even got my duaghter involved in the demolition portion. She was loving that.
Let us know your project and any pictures of the effort would be great

Over the weekend I helped Will and Andrew with will's mud room some more and then installed more electrical and a gas line for a stove at my friend Walt's house. I have to finish installing a set of lights and dimmer switch for Walt's house and then that would complete my projects there.
I did finally hang the running lights in my living room, that i had designed it to have a few years ago, but never finished the install. Now i havent completed that effort becuase i have to buy trim for it, i just bandaided a fix to get the lights up where i wanted them. It looks good for now.

Andrew and I finished the last bit of framing and insulated the walls. What a difference, and we haven't even insulated the ceiling yet.
This weekend will be drywall and ceiling insulation.

New Chelsea Plank Flooring Ash (Sunset) hardwood... http://www.plankflooring.com/product_descriptions.php
Buying from Hardwood Flooring & Supplies in Wixom. These guys have by far the best pricing that I could find. Less than half the cost of my local distributor for the same grade.
Now I have a good excuse to buy a compound miter saw. :)

I moved into a new place for the next 6 mo or so. I moved right next door to where I originally moved to here when I moved up from Chicago.
I swear this house was built by leftys or something, the way all the doors and cabinets etc open...
long story short:
Some interior doors need replacing
kitchen cabinets/drawers need knobs
all faucets leak (unless you set the handle juuuuuusssssssst right)
needs 3 prong outlets
I basically talked this guy out of selling his house (so that I could rent it, I enjoy the 12 minute drive to work)
but I wont be staying as a contract hire forever and he will want to sell this house, so I am going to try and do some necessary updating so that he can sell it when we move out. And make it more bearable to live in.
