What have you done to your house today

After 2 months of back and forth with my HOA, I have been approved for a fence.

Is that the vinyl tile that you can grout?

It has a line around the edge that looks like grout.

It's just glued down

Man I do not miss HOA's.

I'm sure you don't. I estimate I will live in this home for another 3 or so years and then peace out to another area where I can do what I want when I want.

Hopefully this will be your first and last experience with living in a HOA.

Installed a recessed medicine cabinet in one bathroom and new vanity lights in both bathrooms. Pain in the ass since neither had a box in the wall just the cheesy "hollywood" light bars.

Master bath, new light

Guest bath, new light and medicine cabinet.

Jeff, looks good. I found those cabinets that mount above the toilet are pretty handy and have more space than the typical mirrored medicine cabinet.

Yesterday I finished rebuilding my 'pump house' enclosure for my air compressor beside my shop. I built the original one out of scrap lumber about 10 years ago and it finally fell apart a couple weeks ago. This time I sprung for pressure treated 2x4s for the bottom frame.

I also installed a gable vent fan in my garage. My 'garage' is really just a carport that I closed in and the engine heat from the new Coyote is really bad. The good news is that the fan draws a lot of air from the attic gable vent into the garage and then out through the fan so the fan is cooling my attic as well as my garage. It has a thermostat switch with about a 10-15 degree swing and I'm still playing with it to get it set where I want. The fan was only $80 through Home Depot online (not available in stores).

We have one of those in our master bath. I love it.
Sorry about the sideways pic.

I wish I had a compressor. I'd do exactly what you've done and put it in a hut out back.

What are these cheesy Hollywood light bars you speak of? Never encountered those, always has had a box.

A rectangular mirror/bar with anywhere from 3-8 light bulbs in it. Typically uses the soft white 'ball' light bulbs which are very round and slightly larger than a tennis ball.

Oh ok those lights, even those usually have a box mounted in the wall. Im wondering if he just had a cable coming out the wall

Yep, just the wire sticking through a hole in the wall.

Inside is done, now working on the outside.

New Gutters, Paint, lights, windows, doors, outdoor tile in Florida Room, etc etc etc etc etc.

This is going down today. It's going to take about 3 weeks to complete - but I am very excited.

The man doing the work is a Master Muralist. Very talented artist.

The stone appearance is all built up layers....and is hand carved.

The color is added in the last 2 steps, and it's infused into the surface, not just painted on.

Damn Kelly, that looks good.
