Hi friends! Today’s topic in this miniseries of posts is home improvement. Andrew enjoys doing projects around the house to make things better or cooler or just helpful. He told me this is one of his hobbies, so I’m not making this up! He has done so much around our house since we bought it. Most recently, he made a gate for our back garden, which I love! We had some trellis left over after the grape project last year, so he cut that and some wood boards to connect the pieces and made such a nice, secure garden gate to help us keep critters out of the plants. He has replaced so many light fixtures in our home as well—our bedroom light/fan, the family room lights/fans, and our bedroom closet. In our closet, Andrew switched it from long florescent bulbs to a track light system that has a nice dimmer switch. He did all the plumbing for our kitchen remodel to get the new sink and garbage disposal connected. Andrew’s changed outlets and light switches as well. Andrew redid our bedroom closet and it turned out amazing! We are starting to look at redoing the flooring in our main level and Andrew will likely be involved if not DIY it himself. Andrew is super handy and seems to genuinely enjoy doing these home improvement projects around the house. He also helps at both of our parents houses if asked! I’m sure he’ll be happy to have a helper if our future child is interested in learning from him as well.
