Honey Do List

Al has a never ending honey do list at our house. The only problem with this list is that many of the projects require quite a bit of money and time, so these projects take a long time before they can be crossed off the list. But this summer we accomplished a few updates to our house. Here are a couple of them.
I painted the cabinets in the guest bathroom. We want to do this in the kitchen, so this was kind of a trial run, plus these looked really bad (I had already sanded these, they didn't look this bad!). It took about 5 coats of paint. I can't imagine how long it would take us to sand and paint the kitchen cabinets. Does anyone have any suggestions on an easy way to do this?
The vanity looks much better and much cleaner.
This fence was in really bad shape. We've wanted to replace it for a long time, but the old neighbors had a Pit Bull. Al didn't want anything to do with the dog, no matter how nice the owners said it was. You can't trust those dogs. So, they moved out and Al made a deal with the owners, if he did the labor, they would pay for the materials. Thank goodness for a handy husband :) Now they want him to do their other side. This time he will get paid for it!!! Forget teaching, he needs to open up a handy man business.
Since he doesn't have his truck anymore, hauling lumber became a bit challenging. He got it all in there though. He was very proud of himself.
The finished product. It looks so good. Way to go honey!!!
