what do I put here?
So writing has been minimal lately as I've started several home improvement projects.
I made the decision to finally get some new flooring installed as my kitties have not been kind to the carpet. I'm going with laminated wood (which you'd think is cheaper than hard wood, but it's not.) After many talks with my uncle, who builds homes, and different flooring people at different stores the laminate just made more sense for me. However, once I decided on new floors I realized I wanted to paint which also lead to me overhauling both bathroom closets.
In the past few weeks I have learned how to remove trim, patch drywall, install corner bead and sort of create drywall texture. The texture is not my strong suit but I'm removing the rest of the builder grade towel racks in my bathrooms this week. I wish I'd decided to to that before I'd painted but oh well. I thought I could live with them and I realized I can't. They are just so bulky and white and not at all my style. Who knew you could have a style for towel racks?
I feel like I should've done some before and after shots. I have some holes in my walls shots from when I took down the first towel rack that was behind a door for whatever reason.
Also electrical is not that scary once you get a voltage tester. I can now install ceiling fans, light switches and outlets.
Wish me luck and sanity! :)
And possibly some writing for the August Fic-A-Day challenge!
