How's it going? I am new to the forum, but have been working on my house for a couple of years now. Nothing major, just a few small things here and there. I was on DIYchatroom, but haven't been able to bring them up for a week or so, so I thought I'd look for "bigger and better" opportunities! lol Well, here's a quick rundown of my house.

Built in '98
4Br/3Ba
2300 SqFt.
Full finished basement
Vaulted Ceilings in LR
Gas starting wood burning fireplace
Jacuzzi tub in basement bath
2 car attached garage
Main floor laundry
9 ft. ceiling in master br
3 up, 1 down configuration
Central heat/air
Security system
Modest back yard, with a decent view
Updated ALL light fixtures and faucets

Here's a few pics... Sorry for the lack of organization, I just threw them together. Let me know what you all think!

That's my place... Slowly but surely improving it!

Welcome Leroyme:
Your place looks beautiful to me. You are doing a good job with it.
The Kitchen sink faucet looks like the Moen in my sink. I also like the mantle clock. Is it real wind-up clock with hammered chimes?

I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but that gives you an idea of what I'm workin with... Like I said, they are all fairly small jobs, but each one takes time... Time that I don't really have! lol I travel for a living, so this all has been done on the weekends!

Once again, thanks for the kind comments!

It is a Moen faucet! I LOVE IT!!!!! I have replaced all of my faucets (except the jacuzzi bathroom's faucets) with Moens. I love the quality and styles of them!
I also like the mantle clock, but unfortunately, it is a pretty cheap clock. Battery operated, electronic chime. Looks good, though!
