House update

- Entire house is finally painted.

- All decorations are on walls except for one or two which need to be altered (e.g. need new ribbon on kippah wall)

- Medicine cabinet in master bath installed

- Impact door between house and garage installed

- Fan removed from ceiling of boys' room, replaced with light.  Dining room chandelier installed.  Bedroom fan installed, kitchen chandelier removed, light installed.

- New rug purchased for living room

- Video doorbell installed.  We can see who's at the door from our phones.

- Living room collectible shelving in place.

- Screen 90% installed in backyard.  This also involved replacing one of the patio posts that was rotted.  The new post is a few millimeters different in all directions from the old one, so we're in the process of measuring and getting reapproved so can finish the last wall.

- Wooden planks installed in attic to serve as storage for extra tile, etc. New attic ladder.

- Fix A/C horrible noise: we replaced the filter and turns out the workers hadn't screwed something in tight enough, so it was rattling.

Still working on:

- Jonathan is currently cutting wood to size to serve as extra closet shelving in his office. Hopefully that'll be done next week then he can finish moving in.

- Vinyl covers the table and half the chairs. (Still working on the other half). It's already helping with spills.

- Rust stains on outside of house 75% off. Scrubbing sucks. (UPDATE as of Monday: DONE!  Plus putting mold-be-gone stuff in the courtyard)

- About half the light switches are new, some dimmers, some voice activated.  Other half in process.

- Window dressings should come next week.
