12776629, Interior I've got a few projects
Posted by spenzalii, Thu Apr-09-15 12:31 PM
NEw construction is now 7 years old. House has settled a bit and there are a number of nail pops that I've got to take care of. I've also got to replace corner beads (inner and outer) on a few walls, as some have started to peel away from the wall and others look like big cracks. Then there are a few small chips in the wall where it looks like something nicked the wall. Spackle, sand and repaint at some point.

Kitchen/family room area needs a ceiling fan. We had the hole cut in the ceiling a few years ago and the switch is already wired up. Just need to pick out the right fan and install it myself.

3 biggest projects are the garage, basement and master bedroom. I need to put some shelving in the garage (and probably some overhead storage) and have the floor pressure cleaned and painted. While technically it's a 2 car garage it's a super tight fit with both rides inside, so I need to maximize the storage the best I can. The basement needs get painted and likely rearranged. I just haven't quite figured out the color. When we moved in I wanted to install some wainscoting and a chair rail, but now I'm not sure. I think I want to mount the TV on the wall, but I haven't pulled the trigger on that yet. Getting the VESA mount installed won't be hard (did that on both my kid's rooms). Either way, I need a new stand or cabinet for my A/V stuff (and I need to make room for a turntable. I have waaay too much wax I haven't listened to because of it). I want to do surround sound as well, but I'm not keen on running wires all the way across the room, and I haven't done enough research on a wireless rear speaker solution yet. The master bedroom and bath need paint. We's like to eventually get a real dresser, but having a 5 year old in dance class puts that well in the future. Corner bead needs replacing, need to install better lighting (we've got a vaulted ceiling in there with a ceiling fan, but it doesn't provide nearly as much light as we'd like). Debating putting that TV on the wall with a soundbar, but need to sort out a few things with the A/V wiring (not sure I need the cable box, Roky, Blu Ray and Pi running XBMC in one spot, and I need to hide the wires)

Always smaller things to tackle. Need to replace toilet seats (we had installed training seats on 3 of the toilets when we were potty training). Would like to replace the shower faucet in my room. The kitchen backsplash needs to be done. Considering replacing some outlets in the house with receptacles with USB jacks, but need to do some more research there too
