Latest project is painting the sunroom adjacent to the kitchen, reglazing the full-view door with new glass and flooring it with LVP. I built this room in 1995. Could not believe it took two gallons of white "stain blocker, primer included" ceiling paint to make the ceiling one shade of white – and I was painting over white! Couple walls to go, then on to the door repairs, then the flooring. Then a trim upgrade around that doorway. Had to get some deck time in this afternoon, it is 75 degrees out. Last Thursday, it was 28.

Just spent a morning in the attic, stapling up hardware cloth over the ridge vent where starlings had been getting in. The contractors who did my metal roof cut a vent slot up there but didn't put any blocking material in. I'm a bit long in the tooth to get up on the roof and pull the ridge and put it in, so I blocked it from underneath. The starlings had built a 3-foot high "nest" pile of straw. Quite impressive; it took 4 trash bags to get it all packed and hauled out. This afternoon, more caulking and painting on the sunroom project – after a break!
