Thing #8 Completed: Replace Kitchen Counter Lights


Tada! And this DIY, I actually did myself. It wasn't as easy as it seems like it should have been, but it's done.

Blog: Update

Okay, okay, I know I let my blog lapse for more than 6 months, but I've got excuses! Mainly work, and being away from home 4-5 days a week, but I could make up a few more if I needed to. And it is not as if I haven't done any Things. Here are a few of the Things that were accomplished that would have been on my list if I'd been blogging at the time:
  • Fix the built-in space heater in the den
  • Fix the crumbling brick steps on the side entrance to the house
  • Replace several dimmer switches with normal light switches
  • Purchase a new laptop
  • Learn to make a "Flaming Dr. Pepper"
  • Book flights for going home for Christmas
  • Furnish the spare bedroom
  • Furnish the living room

For the record, all the household fix-it projects I just mentioned were accomplished by my father when my parents came to visit, but I was the dutiful supervisor and purchaser of any needed tools/supplies, so I would have counted them.

Anyhow, I am back in Columbus for now, so maybe I'll keep this up-to-date at least for a little while again.
