The branches I have to pick up won't need a rake...
Our lawn is littered with branches from the big pines but not quite clear of the snow yet.

finding carpet online is hard.
We have a carpet we really like, but 30 years of high traffic have taken their toll.
understanding the language to describe a carpet is a job in itself.

What you really need to do is get samples and compare them. I got quite a few before I made my decision. I'm happy with it.

My recent project. 80's powder room that was way overdue for a change. Doubled the usable floor space and now the door swings into the room instead of the hallway. Seems like a simple project, but to move the toilet required reworking a cold air duct and rewiring some lighting in the basement. I did a little of everything: wallpaper and tile removal, plumbing, electric, HVAC, drywall repair, flooring, etc. Did 100% of the work myself. Pretty happy with the result for a first timer.

Nice job Mark. Always good when the goal is reached and you did it all yourself!

Very nice! I like the wood on the wall. I was thinking of doing something similar in our guest bedroom.

I painted the three outside doors of the cabin maroon inside and out. I think they look kinda nice.
