So far this year....
We replaced all the carpeting on the main floor (3 Bedrooms and Living room). While we were at it we chose to paint the bedrooms, which also gave me the opportunity to finish the molding in those rooms.
Built a bed for my youngest, it opens up from the side... he loves it. Now my wife would like me to build us a new one. I've designed it but haven't decided what wood to use it.
Got a promotion. That was pretty cool. Been talking to my leader(s) for about 5 years on that. Fortunately I've had a bunch of opportunities to shine this year and my leader's boss took notice and agreed it was time to promote me. Nothing has really changed yet, but there are several things coming up that I will most likely have to take point on. Should be interesting and looking forward to the challenge.
Broke my finger a few weeks ago. That sux. I still have about 5 more weeks to wear the splint. Makes typing pretty difficult :) (also a reason why I haven't started building our bed)
Donated one of our cars to Rawhide. It was pretty emotional because we had the car for 19 years and it took us a LOT of places. My oldest had been driving it for the last several years and it was starting to become a money pit so definitely time for it to go. But still...
Built a fire pit in the back yard. Just got a Menards kit, but we chose to use multiple colors. Turned out great and works really well.
Installed a hitch on our car. The car we donated had the hitch so we had to put one on the "newer" car. Pretty easy install. Lower the exhaust, bolt it on. Done.
Finished the landscaping... we now have rock all the way around the house.
Got rid of the raised planting beds. We just hadn't been using them and they took up way too much space.
Picked up an Energy Dome. Can't believe I waited this long to get one. Have an interesting idea to add lights to it... might actually look into that. I tend to wear it while working just for fun.
Celebrated 30 years... thats pretty awesome.
Really blessed with a great partner, awesome kids and a good job.
