Summer of 2020 home projects
To keep busy during Covid-19 distancing during the summer of 2020, I decided to do several small home projects including:
- Installing a new electric attic hoist, aluminum attic ladder, a bridge across the attic, and new LED attic lighting
- Painting the great room ceiling, small bedroom walls and ceiling, master bedroom walls. (Kathy helped and painted the main bathroom walls and ceiling.)
- Remodeled master bathroom vanity area
- Did a partial remodel of a ½ bathroom
