The Handyman Can

I still can't believe that at 27 years old I own a home and property...thank you Mike! As we work on the house, I'm reminded how blessed I am that for the most part Mike has the skills to do the improvements himself. People ask me specifically what Mike does in construction and I find myself telling them, "He can do anything." I often swell with pride when talking about my husband, it's easy to brag about him. If there is ever anything he can't do on his own, Mike's friends are quick to jump in to help. They each bring their own area of expertise. Collectively they are welders, electricians, plumbers, excavators...the list is endless! They are incredibly gracious with their equipment and time. It's an amazing community of friends.That's another one of Mike's gifts...the man knows people. Granted he's lived in this town for most of his life, Mike knows people wherever he goes. There is always someone who knows someone who can get the job done.

Our latest project is the master bathroom remodel. It turned out perfectly. It is now my favorite room in the house. I love, love, love it! Mike had some guys do the tile and he wrapped up the rest. Here are some before and after pictures:

Mike demos the ugly floral tile...

In with the new...my mother-in-law Judie helped me pick the paint color, she's got style :)

The pebbles remind me of being at the beach...

These cabinets are the best! You slam the door and the hinges close them slowly so they never slam. Amazing.

We're waiting for a glass shower door

Why, look at this! A place to shave my legs!

I have dubbed this bathroom my personal day spa. The pictures don't do it justice~
