rico Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Out with the old and in with the new( 5fouls taught me that one). So any big projects in store from where we left off? Last year I was planning on building a pole barn but the covid hit my wallet. I plan on picking that one up again this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I plan on putting a new deck around the pool. Had a guy give us a hot tub because he just hated it and then his wife said no. Was looking forward to that. I am doing a pergola 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefftheref Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 My big projects are all done. We are putting a new roof on in April but I am subbing the whole job out. This year I am going to work on my punch list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm looking at spending a lot of money on projects but not too much labor for me as of yet. New furnace and A/C unit. Top of chimney being rebuilt. Possibly new garage door. Just got new appliances after waiting 5 months. I installed some new light switches and need to get around to doing more but that is low on my list. Next DIY project will be some interior painting. Not sure when, though.

Joe_Hoopsier Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I’ve been working on a counter top for the master bath (finally). The epoxy pour has been kicking my arse! The wife likes Dolphins so they are inside the epoxy pour with some star fish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know when you have that mastered and you can do one for me. Was thinking that would go perfect in the beverage bar in my basement! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, I have been working on mine for 15 years now. As a matter of fact, I got a few things started 15 years ago and they still remain unfinished. Of course I was a bachelor for those 15 years! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still need to trim out 5 of them on the inside. Last year I put new windows in upstairs(3) and don't have them trimmed out inside either. About once a week I keep getting reminded by Tammy. Ya know, sometimes I just lose focus and concentrate on more important things like fishing, hunting, and drinking! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Hoopsier Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I built my house and moved in in May of 15'. Upon move in I wanted to take a little break.... I wonder when break is over? Windows not trimmed, Rooms not trimmed, about 15' of soffet not put up and about a million other little things. Since then I've started 5 other projects that are "just short" of being finished... Yep, all because I needed a little break upon 95% completion of anything. And before you ask, yes the wife agrees with this.... EVERYTHING... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She thinks I am a 1 of a kind and not in the great way so to speak 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
