As soon as my weekends start to free up, I am on board with sharing. I have four big dilemas. One they lowered the air vent to be flush with the plastic and wood framing, oh yah they trimmed it out like crazy. The other three problems are that the light fixtures I think are wired on the side instead of the center. Which makes choosing fixtures difficult. Moving wires yah I could, but as many other projects I have found in this house, is that they never grounded anything. Our old chandelier you would get a buzz off it if you touched it. Any imput from Sandra would be great. Other then the plastic breaking and just horrible lighting. Well out of the three fixtures, one stays on, one when it wants to works and then goes off again, and the third if your lucky! How long has it been like this, well too embarrassed to say and well too many bleeps have been said when cooking.

I would love to send you a photo, but,….it’s soooo dark out there. I’ll see what I can do.

I’ve managed to do a few repairs that blend in nicely but I would love to make it go away! I’ve read online about ways it can be done but I don’t know if I can/should attempt it. Looking forward to seeing a video.

Sandra,
I make one of my “ummm, not so sure what to do” faces every time I walk in that darn bathroom. Maybe you need to come to NC with a cattle prod so I will get my rear in gear!

We have the orange peel texture in our home and it is not my favorite. It is especially hard to reproduce (for me anyway) when repairs are made in the drywall. I have some drywall to repair right at the ceiling and I am avoiding it mainly because of the texture issue. It is right above the fireplace and will be so visible!

Your office will be great! You will be even more productive, I’m guessing. 🙂

I’ve tried Google Sketch-Up. I’m not very good at it. I need to try again!

Thanks for the inspiration.

p.s. I have those icky ceiling fluorescent box thingies in my kitchen…yuck!
