Customizin my double-wide

Hello all :)

I have had a lot of fun this weekend. My 2 daughters share a bedroom in our double-wide and my wife and I have been watching shows such as trading spaces and flip that house for quite awhile now. We decided to tackle performing a small amount of cosmetic surgery in their room. As some people know, most double-wides have these strips that go from the floor to the ceiling. We tore those out, mudded it down, smoothed it out with sanding, repainting, purchsed some light fixtures, etc. It was a lot of fun (a lot of work) but a lot of fun. The wife and I had a blast. I had to come to work though so the wife is left painting the room. ;)

I'm sure almost everyone here are in a standard home, but what kind of customizing projects have you attacked in your home?

Let's discuss

My dad and I are gonna put a deck behind our house when it warms up. Other than that, I can't think of anything major. I mostly build non-built-in things.

Custom painting, ceiling fans, some lighting and some minor stuff in the kitchen.

My wife and I have talked about putting a wrap deck from the front door around the side to the back door. However, I'm not good at woodworking, so, I'd have to hire my neighbor for that one :-)

Two years ago we installed laminent in the whole place - that was HARD work. It was for me anyway.

First let me say, this is the best topic for a thread I have ever read.

Okay, now down to the nitty gritty...

I've done a lot of painting, rebuilt our patio, did custom electrical work, HVAC work (help with that though), installed new dishwasher, plumbing work, and custom cabinetry.

By far the best was installing a new dishwasher...mostly because I hate washing dishes. Although I have a lot of fun with in-home projects. Electronics and building stuff in the home are my two favorite things. Although, it's kind of sad because now we're getting ready to sell and I have to start all that work over again... :(
