[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 583845, member: 9177"] Over Christmas, we paid friends of ours to declutter our house from top to bottom while we were out of town. The results were mostly fabulous, and since then we've been on a roll... Having a very handy husband who used to be a contractor/jack-of-all-trades definitely has its perks. He has put down a new tile floor in our laundry/half bath area, and we've painted in there too. Over this past weekend, he ripped out half of the hall bathroom - a tub/shower that was mounted on an 8-inch concrete slab (jackhammered the slab out too - OMG the NOISE and DUST!!!!). He's going to put in a walk-in shower and tile the entire floor - right now half of the floor is hardwood (yes, in a bathroom - that plus the pointless slab make us think the previous owner was ON something when they built that bathroom!). Also over this weekend, I've heard the Words I've Wanted To Hear since we moved in - "OK honey, you need to be thinking about what you want for our master bathroom, because it's the next thing on the list." :flirtysmile3: :choir: As for me, I plan to totally gut all the stuff in my pantry and reorganize it, I want to get my kitchen better organized, and I'm going to make some self-watering containers for veggies out of buckets that husband brings home from work. I also want a few raised garden beds, but they will have to go in my front yard, so I'm working on the containers first. It's prime planting time here in FL, actually late for some things. Here's more info on the DIY self-watering containers, if anyone is interested. I get buckets for free, I've saved a ton of cottage cheese/large yogurt containers, so the only thing I really have had to buy for these is the zip ties and soil (oh, and my own personal drill, since husband keeps absconding with our tools by taking them to work).
