Depends how many levels of recursion you’re interested in.

The most immediate project is to rewire all the ceiling lighting in the basement, to get it all on one circuit, while also eliminating a few dim spots and swapping some old flourescent fixtures for some nice dimmable LED panels I got on a sale, for the area that we eventually wanna turn into an entertainment center. I’ve got all the supplies ready, but I keep getting sidetracked by lawn work and issues with the car.

THAT whole project is in service of tearing down and rebuilding the drywall facade walls in the basement, and being able to have working lighting available for that project.

THAT project is in service of finishing waterpoofing the basement after we had a gutter and sump system professionally installed last fall. That eliminated all the issues we had with water seeping up from under the foundation, but there’s still a very small amount that leaks in from over the TOP of the foundation, when there’s heavy-enough rain. For that, we need to rip out the remainder of the walls, which were partially ripped out to install the gutter, and put up a liner directly on the foundation walls that will redirect all water down into the gutter.

THEN we can replace the carpet that we had to rip out after the record-setting rain storm we had last summer that soaked the entire basement.

THEN we can move everything in the garage back intonthe basement.

THEN I can being working on the car that grenaded itself when it threw a timing chain.

Also, does buying a new car count? Cause that was our entire 3-day weekend.

Just got all the supplies I need for making a Dopp bag.

Just finished a crochet blanket with hood for my little one. Still have to put a ridge of dragon scales down the back for him.

all my crochet projects are on hold until it cools off a bit. the sensation of sweaty hands and yarn is a no-go for me.

I am currently not installing a ventilation system in the workshop to remove nasty 3d printing fumes. Any day now I will start.

We are renovating our Atelier to be a temporary house while we strip and redo the main house. My girlfriend’s parents have done a full renovation, he is an industrial electrician, her brother is a woodworker just out of school and a modular house designer. They are all super helpful and I am so grateful and learning a lot.

During the 2 weeks I worked only 2 days per week and a few weekends before we have:

• trash removal of previous owner

• ripped out electrical in the main house

• tore down the gyprock in one room and found that the main house and atelier both have a moisture blocking barrier after the first brick layer

• washed away the gritty loam paint that the previous owner had used over much of the house

• primed and painted the entire 44m^2 atelier stone walls

• placed 6cm cheaper insulation in the storage area since there it was only 1 brick thick instead of 2 bricks plus a space.

• cut a hole in the brick wall for the gas heater stove

• got a quote for switching to 3-phase 25A, 400V and prepared the site

• made a temporary fence to keep our dog in the first piece of our garden that is closed on the sides

• cut and dug trenches inside for gas, water, electric and internet

• broke up and hauled away 6cm thick concrete slab where we had to route things under

• placed and hooked up electrical in the atelier loft, storage room, and the outdoor storage shelter behind it

• made technical drawings for electrical, gas, sewer, and water

• found a quality 2nd hand gas stove to heat during our mild winters

• dug out and mapped sewer and gas lines through the property

• dug a 24 meter trench 70cm deep and laid water, gas, and 3-phase electric (in a flexible pipe) in that layer, and laid internet and sewer at ~40cm deep with a measured 1cm per meter “afwatering.”

• Quotes for redoing the asbestos filled roof in the main house and currently setting up asbestos testing for the slanted wall since the attestation documentation seemed to be wrong and there is asbestos-based insulation according to a roofer + asbestos remover we got a quote from

• temporarily rennovated the small bathroom, repainted, replaced the broken toilet, removed the leaky sink, and re-silicones the tiny sitting bath/shower and replaced the shower head

• Found 30m^2 of click laminate for 40€. Proud of that find. Good condition too.

Next up is hooking up the gas and water fittings fully inside, getting a plumber to come test and hook us up to the main 22mm line to the boiler in the house, place and hook up the electrical in the kitchen/living room and for the appliances, find a 2nd hand oven, stove, and fume hood, and fill in the inside trenches and re-pour the concrete, place the floors and finish up for the year in the next month.

My list for the month:

• Bring the drill press inside and see if I can get the rust off the base. Like the crappy hand plane I derusted a couple of weeks ago, it’s been sitting in an unheated shed through several Canadian winters and attracted condensation. It’s functional, but the table is a mess.
• Do Something with the red oak left over from the desk chair repair (since I had to buy a much longer piece than I needed for that). It will likely be combined with a piece of leftover birch plywood to become a tray, and the leftovers from that will become a wooden mallet.
• Attempt to 3D print a fairly complex router base for my Dremel, which is going to be interesting because the available instructions are 1. scant and 2. in German.

though not as home oriented as most posters here, i have a denim jacket i’ve been working on for the past couple months. have been making and sewing my own patches on, and am currently looking at dyeing the sleeves, though i’ve been procrastinating from that a bit ;)

just finished sewing (or rather just modifying) myself some pants

The new mantle I’ve been working on is finally ready to install! So, we’ll be mounting it this weekend, along with the TV (yes, “tv too high” but we don’t have an option). So excited to finally have this done!

Currently stripping popcorn ceiling on entire first floor, shoring and patching dry wall on all walls and ceiling, painting entire first floor, and replacing most fixtures and rugs. May not sound like much, but it’s full time. First spruce up place has had in 21 years. Also replacing pads and rotors on car when I need to take a brake (intended) from the dust and endless sanding.

I just put up an awning over our back deck. Now it’s time for modifications. I’m going to adjust how the straps connect for the fabric so it’s tighter and water runs off better. then I’m going to seam seal and put on some waterproofing spray.

After that, my daughter and I are building a padded bench for a window nook in her room. The design and measurements are done. Fabric and foam have been purchased. Actual work completed: zero.

Trying to repair a spice grinder. After swearing a bunch and cutting up my fingers I gave up putting the original switch and safety lock and decided to cannibalize a new switch from a space heater that isn’t a POS.

Making progress on linen shorts. The belt fits, despite some unfortunate inaccuracies while attaching the waistband. Button hole and button are next. Or hemming…

I had made some sweet built-in bunk bed for my kids but they’ve both outgrown them and now I have to turn it into a built-in for a full-size mattress.

About to get started on my new bed frame to replace the one I have that was built with pocket screws.
