Most productive weekend EVER



Not even exaggerating.




First we went to town on the yard -- we planted two new trees out front where we lost the other ones in the hurricane. Then we weeded and mulched everything.




Then, we traded out the light fixture in the dining room. This involved cutting a new hole in the ceiling, army crawling around in the attic, 1/4 of the insulation that used to be in our attic ending up scattered around the house, and a whole bunch of really tricky electrical stuff that TJ figured out and took care of.

very nice work! What a cute kitchen and what a funny place for the old light...your new one looks much, much better.

You seriously did that? I am really impressed. Look at you doing DIY, dad would be so proud!
Also I love the light, it looks really good. I should probably come see it in person though before giving my final opinion.

You guys have made your house look so great--the new light looks wonderful!

Woahhh! You are definably a handy man TJ! I like you new light! And it's more centered around your table that ours is for sure!!!

I want to see it now that we are back!
