we (we meaning eric and his parents) just finished our latest home improvement project. we have a back porch "solarium" type room that was basically wasted space. it had nasty shingled walls and a dark wood celing. we decided to rip out the shingles, put up drywall, new floors, paint the ceiling, etc. we're in the process of adding a table so that we can eat out there and enjoy the view of our back yard. it was an insane amount of work, it's always more than you think it's going to be, but it has been well worth it!! it looks great, and we were able to do it pretty inexpensively. eric's parents are great "do-it-yourselfers" and they were able to help us out with their expertise. it's great to have people who know what they're doing around, although it means that they get roped into doing a lot of work. it's kind of like in college when you have a truck, and suddenly you're everyone's best friend because you can help them move. that's why i drove a celebrity eurosport in college. don't be jealous. :)
