This weekend was spent working on the house. The main goal of the weekend was to put new lights in the garage, paint the closet doors, and go shopping for a guest bed. Two of them were completed but the guest bed was put on hold. With the Santa Ana winds starting up last Friday, they quickly killed off our side gate that was already pretty battered to begin with. So unless we wanted to hear it open and close all week, we needed to fix it.Saturday, Jamie and my Dad, spent the day working on the lighting in the garage. The lighting was really bad, their was one light bulb working near the door. On several occasions Jamie and I went into the garage to get something and I asked Jamie to turn on the light only to find that it was on! So it was much needed and it looks amazing. I think our garage is now the best lite room in the house. Meanwhile, my Mom and I did some research on how to go about building a replacement gate.
We were able to find something called an Adjust-A-Gate which gave you all the metal pieces and you just had to buy the remaining wood pieces. So Sunday Jamie tackled the gate and I painted closet doors. If you are ever looking for a great way to do squats without thinking about it, paint doors. You go up and down all day and it totally works your legs and arms and trust me you feel the results all week. I'm so soar from the shoulders down but after the Christmas Holiday I definitely needed the workout. Jamie finished the gate with a bit of beginners frustration but it looks great and works perfectly. Not the most exciting weekend but a very productive one.
