One of the best things about the north bedroom is the large window next to the bed. Unfortunately it’s made out of a sliding door and is fixed in place. Finally decided to solve that problem by installing some hinges and extending a small deck outside. The frame was originally made to handle being slid on a track so it handled the hinges no problem. All the lumber and hardware was found on-site save the nuts and bolts. Total cost of the addition: 60 cents.

We also have several other small home improvement projects in progress at the moment. First, the front porch area is being completed with concrete board and tiles. Second, the north fence is going to be extended to the property line. More to come.
