Done any home improvements? A couple of years ago I built a free standing deck on a part of our back yard that was an eye-sore. We use it quite a bit now. Also refinished the wood floors in two rooms.

Anyone else?

Built a deck in the backyard 16 years agon, just re-built the underpinnings again. Also built a few small fences and gates to divide the yard up. And a retaining wall, 100' feet long across our backyard, it's a long planter box, when we first bought the house 17 years ago.

Very very few plumbing or electrical projects that I will tackle, gotta leave those to the experts, usually.

Thankfully I have friends who are handy!!! NO I am really quite bad at that kind of thing. No patience.

Ever watch Red Green? His slogan? "If they women can't find you handsome, at least they'll find you handy."

I've done some plumbing (ran a new line for our washer for instance) and some electical (when we remodeled part of the house I put in some new outlets). For more major stuff, I'm all for letting the pros do it.

Our house is pretty old (around 100 years), and has had a bunch of additions put on over the years. I'm thinking of re-shingling one of the additions this fall. Also going to replace some facia and soffits. Maybe a window or two as well.

Anyone else?
