I am Back!!

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

After a long hot and lazy Summer, I am ready to get back to those projects that I over looked in July and August.  It seems that the Summer is a license to do nothing around the house and that once September hits it is back to the grind.  The kids are back in school, vacations are over and we are playing less golf; [at least some of us] so that leaves more time to tackle home projects.  In the business we call that, “back to home” this is the time of year when wives across the country start up the’ “honey do list” again.  Not being married, I have to bug myself to get going on home projects trust me, you want no part of this discussion!!.  I think I am tougher on myself than a wife would ever be!!!  All my married friends tell me that they can run and hide from their wives, my problem is you cannot hide from yourself.

I don’t want to make this about avoiding home projects, but rather attacking home projects to keep making your house the best it could be.  I don’t care if you live in a single room apartment or some big, “most of the rooms aren’t used” house, it is so important to stay on top of the basic maintenance of your living space.  It not only looks better but it will make you feel better every time you come home.  Let’s take the bathroom for an example, by just replacing that old bath rug and get a new set of towels you can brighten up a room you use every day.  A new shower caddy works just as well, check out our new Bamboo Tension Pole Caddy [ I know it is a shameless plug] but it makes a big difference.

Ladies if you are in the middle of preparing your, “honey do list” and don’t know where to start, then I have the following suggestions, your kitchen and bathrooms.  Generally these are the rooms that get the most use and need the most maintenance.  It is amazing what a new coat of paint and new set of widow treatments can do for a kitchen!  My other suggestion is don’t just put this on your husband to do but work together on these projects, think of this as date night with a purpose.  You know what they say when the moment right will you be ready, and what says loving better than paint, brushes and a roller!  Why ruin your clothes paint naked……Make sure the kids are at Grandma’s for the day, you don’t want to damage their little minds.  Now I hate painting but that could get me down to the paint store faster than I ever thought possible.  See ladies make it fun, keep it fresh and remember to always Put Stuff in its Place, this is Big Bill hoping all your home improvement projects get done this month.
