If I remember right, the exterior of the house had not been maintained when you bought it. Evergreens are tough, I really hack mine down every year to keep them under control. When they get out of control, almost easier to yank them and start over.
What have you done to your house today

I'm right there with you. Been here since May and still haven't started on the garage yet. I have a workbench in the kitchen though.

I at least have everything up against a wall so I can fit a car in if need be but just not up to my liking. Can't wait till I can afford to build/buy a decent shed to free up alot of garage space. It's only a 18x20 so I need all I can getI'm right there with you. Been here since May and still haven't started on the garage yet. I have a workbench in the kitchen though.

Today, new water heater. Yesterday was nest thermostat. Day before that was putting 10 LED bulbs in the most used places, and moving the random CFL in place of current incandescent bulbs.
Thursday we get our gas dryer so wifey can start doing laundry again.

Seriously need to put an exhaust vent on the microwave to the outside. The recirculation fan doesn't do a very good job. I've set the smoke alarms off several times.
On another note, loving the gas fireplace in this cold weather, although at some point want to upgrade the logs to a remote controlled set. Also installed a Nest thermostat the other day and it's been great so far.

Also integrates with hue bulbs as well.

You got the economy (green) model, right?
Goes from pole to pole (or tree to tree) and uses mother nature to dry the clothes.

I redid a bunch of wiring in the basement and fixed some issues I found, and hopefully some issues I was having with breakers tripping. I found that someone had put 2 circuits under 1 breaker. I split that out and separated the back half of the basement from the upstairs and mad it so that outlets and lighting was also on separate circuits.
I also finished this wall recently with a new barn door setup

Don't know if it's good news or bad news. I went up in the attic (again) to further investigate the water stains in my ceiling. Every single spot was midway between the trusses, even though roof leaks tend to travel down the trusses. I found some scratch marks in the blown insulation at two of the wet areas. So I set a couple more drip trays over the wet spots (the last one I placed 3 months ago was dry) and went to Home Depot to load up on mouse bait and some glue traps.
I hate the idea of critters living in my attic pissing in my insulation, but on the other hand that would be a lot less expensive than a new roof.

The house we bought has a big open living area that's open to the second floor. Big A frame house. The previous owner I guess thought he was doing us a favor by installing those "boob" lights all over the damn house, so I've been replacing one or two of them a week with something less awful.
I've been wanting to put in can lights over the stairs and two to replace the boob lights in our sloped ceilings because they make the ceiling look so much lower with those things hanging down. Found these awesome flush mount LEDs at Lowe's for 2/$40. Look just like can lights except that they bulge maybe 3/4" below the drywall. Thrilled with the results.
Here's the before and after above the stairs. I'm not outrageously tall, but at 6-feet tall the hanging one made me duck a little every time I went down the stairs.

Finally got the Over the Range microwave exhausted to the outside, and to my surprise no studs were in the way. Made the install way easier, now hopefully I can stop setting off the smoke alarms

Moved into parents duplex for a little while, plus side it's cheap and has a 2 car garage, bad news the garage floor gets covered in water when it rains.
I believe the culprit is mainly the rear wall where the ground level is even mostly with the concrete slab, started digging a ditch to help drain water, planning a French drain.
Just so many damn roots and rocks is hard to dig, and there's not much room to use a trencher so gotta do it by hand.
And I gotta figure out where I'm gonna run the water, gotta look into code to see what's legal to do to drain
