Weekend DIY Projects...

...are more fun when you don't DIY.

It was much too cold to paint yesterday so Al & his assistant installed a recessed shower light in my parent's shower for me yesterday. It's been a pet peave of mine for years. Dark Shower = No Good. I gave my parents the master bedroom here at the Swamp because that bedroom has a big shower instead of a bathtub and I figured in years to come that would be much better for them. But it had no light in there. At all. Close the slower curtain and forget about seeing anything! It wasn't bothering my parents at all, but it was bothering me a bunch.

It has a light now though! Yay!

My favorite project of all of the things I'm having done on this round of Home Improvements is this little baby...

See that electrical outlet? It was not there until yesterday. I wanted a night light in the hallway. One on a sensor, like I have in every other room in the house. There is nothing worse in the middle of the night than having to get up to tinkle and having to throw on the BIG light and getting so awake that you can not go back to sleep. srsly.

Bliss, I tell you. Pure bliss.

Pay no attention to that carpet scrap sticking out of the hallway closet. It's a knee pad for painting down low that we just tossed in there to get it out of the way. :)

I know, you didn't even notice it, right? :)

Nor did you notice that the baseboard trim is not yet nailed in. Or that the wall paint hasn't been cut in yet after painting the first coast of white. Or that my favorite ladder is propped up against the wall in my office.

That's because you're just so sweet and you're my friends. Friends don't notice stuff like that.

It ain't right yet, but we're getting there!

Have yourselves a lovely day with some YAY in it. And me, too.
