Garage Door Insulation


Garage Door Insulation.....check!


I decided to add insulation to our garage door in hopes that it will help out with the temperature issue we are having in the room above the garage. All summer long it was miserably hot up there...so much so, that I hardly spent any time in that room (which is saying something, since it's my office and that is where my computer lives). Now that it's winter, we're having the opposite problem. It's 58 degrees in that room in the morning, while it is 70 degrees in the hallway just outside the room.


Easy project, only took about 1-1 1/2 hours (with a little help from Connor).


(fingers crossed that it helps)

Home Improvement Projects....

So here's the project: update the powder room. And by powder room, I mean that closet-sized bathroom just off the kitchen...you know, the one that all of our visitors use.

Because of its size, there's not a lot that can be done with it, except some color and fixture updates.

What I want to do is paint the walls, re-finish (paint) the vanity cabinet, and update all the fixtures (light, towel ring, faucet).



So here are some before pictures:
