Wife wants some built in cabinets in the family room (? I dont know what its called, its the smaller of the living rooms lol) so thats what we’re doing. Getting the boyo involved, he’s showing interest finally! Yay.
I wanted to just do a simple wall to wall floating shelf, but I always give that woman what she wants.

Annnnnd even more important, the upstairs AC started acting up and then quit. I don’t know a lick about HVAC but my brother in law in AR does and just hearing the hum over the phone he said the motor just needs to be swapped and that it’s easy.
Climed up into the attic, removed the blower assembly, got a replacement, put it in, climed back up and a literal 4 pounds of sweat later and 30 minutes later, the AC was back in business. Saved myself about 800 bucks doing it myself.

Well, update, Wife was not digging my complete rustic wood farmy stuff I was envisioning lol. Pivoted, and went with some birch plywood like I should have from the jump cause I know she a bit more bougie than me.
Another trip to HD and 3 hours later…
Got a bunch more ply for shelves and doors when I get some more time.

I’ve started to renovate me bedroom, the built in closets was impossible to use anymore,they smelled horrible.
It was shown that like in every other room here, there’s a really old plastic mat underneath everything and the glue have started to smell really bad. (No wonder, house built in 1948)
I’m not even halfway yet, but it’s supposed to be a an old west homestead/ farm house inspired bedroom. Without built in closets.
I’ll keep you updated.

Are you going to move the electric and commo to the flat top of the unit?
No plans to, she wants all that stuff out of sight, no wires, no modem and all that. There’s already an outlet and hidden wall wire up behind the tv.
@SassyRocks never enough damn storage!
Thank you @MandiH I try!

I forgot to post my porch repair but I was proud of my son and I so I had to share!
My porch became bowed over the winter and as I inspected it, the wood was completely rotted out. The previous owners we not good DIY-ers and it needed a whole lot of love. This is the before:
So, my son and I got to work with the hammers, chisels, pry bars, and power tools to take out the rotted wood/ entire rim joist to the floor boards. This was in between the month long ran spurt we were in the middle of too.
We’ve never done anything like this before but we did it! And, in the new buyers inspection they had NO issues with the work we did-and they were THOROUGH!
I was pretty proud of us and this job-by far this was my biggest repair on that house and we were in a huge time crunch. Sometimes we are far more capable than we give ourselves credit for.
