Home Improvement Projects at a Country Home in Verona, WI
This weekend, before leaving for Masters Week in Augusta, I finished getting the Ranger and the lawn mowers ready for spring. Pretty basic stuff: air filters, oil filters, oil changes, and a new battery for the ATV. It felt good working outside in sixty degree weather, Spring is finally here!

This morning, I drove out to the lake house and took delivery of the washer / dryer unit. It fits in the space really nicely, and is exactly the right size for the small loads of laundry we’ll have at the lake house. Continue reading Lake House Laundry Installed
This spring, I have a variety of projects on deck. I’m having more crown molding installed at the house in Verona. The first crown molding project went so well, I’m now expanding the scope to all of the rooms upstairs, which I think will look excellent. Next, I’m going to have the lake house power … Continue reading Upcoming Spring Projects
As the snow melts and the weather slowly warms up, it’s been fun to get all of the cars and other vehicles out from winter storage.

In the midst of all of my larger projects, I always maintain a list on Basecamp of smaller projects that need doing at both the main house and the lake house. Sometimes I find myself with a weekend that, due to other plans or weather, doesn’t allow me to work on a big project. When … Continue reading Minor Spring Projects
One of the last appliances that I needed to buy for the lake house was a washer dryer. It will primarily be used for swim suits and towels, since we don’t keep a ton of clothes at the lake house, but it is still very nice to have. Space is absolutely an issue, since the … Continue reading Lake House Washer/Dryer
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything, not due to lack of projects but due to a very busy spring. Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be catching up on writing about my spring projects. One of the larger ones was remodeling the smaller of the two master suite walk-in closets to be a … Continue reading Powder Room Remodel
