To Do list

DSC_6018
Since I'm staying at home till the New Year, I created a To Do list for things around the house. The first one was replacing all of the ugly brass in our house. The last remaining brass pieces were the door thresholds and sweeps. Here you can see the before. This one doesn't actually look too bad since it matches with the door but for consistency I replaced it.

Here's an after picture of another door I did. I replaced a total of 4 doors. Each door took about 2 hrs to do. I usually could finish a door a day since Cole would nap twice for about an hour each time. By the last door I could finish in about an hour.

Another item on my to do list was to replace the Saab's worn out trim. The material they used in the trim didn't stand up to the desert sun.

Here you can see the installation of the new trim piece.

Here's the after shot. It looks so much better now.

I'm totally impressed, but when have I not been? I should follow you around and learn a few tricks of my own.

You are so handy, Stew! Can you come change out all of the ugly brass at our house too? WHY do builders put ugly brass anyway???
