Aww man! Sorry about the bug bite! I got a few small ones on our walk tonight, and didn't even go out after dark! Bugs just love me.
We've been doing a lot inside the house. Decided to put in the laminate flooring ourselves. So far we stripped the carpet and linoleum, took off the base boards, and put down the underlayer.
We also redid our banister. New newel post and handrail too. Put up crown molding and painted. Still not even close to being done with the room though.
Got a few quotes for a stair company to do our banister and they told us about $1200. It only took about $100 worth of stuff from Lowe's for us to do it.
