Last Little Project To Fix In Your House or Shop?

Recommended Posts

We all have that one little project that would take 10 minutes to complete, but day after day, month after month, it remains unfinished.

Mine is the fridge door handle...been this way for 7 months...just cant find the time to fix it.  The tiny plastic part and screw is $22...maybe that's why I haven't fixed it yet

New replacement DR window sitting on the deck waiting for me. 

Old one is all ready to pull out.

OH, and there is this annoying sound that starts everytime I walk into the house.

I know the source but have had no success quieting it...

Have you tried the 3S’s?

I had some holes in my foundation letting water in...and phone cabling throughout my house.  Since we no longer bother to own a landline phone I eliminated all of that today, and a couple of months ago sealed those holes.  Yes, the winter blahs and cabin fever are starting to set in.  ?

Mine too!  New Years's Eve and then the window candles come down as well, except the one in the shop loft. That stays on until it burns out.

Wire up a relay on our mule. Wiring 10-20 minutes, cleaning up a years worth of clutter that has accumulated on and around the mule will take a good hr plus to clean up and organize away.

I have been putting up led lights in the house. I have 5 of the 6 in the basement but I have to wire them yet. I am not an electrician by any means but I have gotten some done so far

Leaking/dripping shower in the wifey's bathroom. I can't hear it with the door closed. I can hear it all over the house when she gets home.

You know the difference between your dog and your wife raising a ruckus at the back door?   Your dog shuts up when you let him in!:D

Got a garden fence to do.

Two new doors on Garage.

Front garden to finish tidying up. I've started that one. Cleared it with a JCB ?

Desperately trying to stop water coming in  through cavity wall of kitchen before fitting new kitchen.

Landing and hallwall walls to prep and paint.

Floors to sand and stain up stairs.

Pass me another beer.........

My experience has been that if you own a house there is no such thing as a last little project.  Good for me, since I call my business small projects and jobs.

new wood floor and paint in the big bedroom; put shoebase molding on the trim boards where I put wood down...let's see back in 2016.

Complete garage cleaning in warmer weather - minus 5 today with wind chills up down to 20 below in Iowa.. and no heat in the garage. 

Oh, and my IH toy tractor collection... I have 20 in restoration and customizing stages.....
