What Has Poppa Been Doing?

Well, he's been quite busy.  When Denis left for Canada, he left a little wish-list of things for Poppa to do - if he had time.  Well, you know Poppa.  He has most of the items crossed off his list already!  First up - the doorbell at Denis's house wasn't working .......

.....it is now!  Next up - there were a couple of damaged floor tiles.  While these couldn't really be fixed - without taking them out and replacing them....Poppa managed....

...to camouflage them quite nicely.  This is before he was quite finished, you actually see it even less now!  Then he .....

...replaced the drawer and door pulls in all three bathrooms.  They did have plastic ones - and Liz didn't really like them - these are metal and give a nice updated look to the bathroom cabinets.  When that was finished....

...he made a trip to the paint store and got some paint to match the walls and the trim.  He touched up any chipped/marked spots on the walls, re-painted the baseboards.....

..and then re-painted the laundry/garage entrance area.  Another day, he went back and repaired the faucet in the center bath.....

...for some reason the hot water tap ran cold and the cold water tap ran hot.....they are behaving correctly now.  While we were there that day, I took pictures of the wonderful job he had done with the pressure washer outside.......

....he did the pool deck area......

...and then he did the brick-work that surrounds the flower beds.....

....in the back yard.  The trees are currently sleeping for the winter (yes - even though the temperature today is about 80F - it is winter in Florida!), but in the spring it will be gorgeous out here.  Today he is over there again - putting some nice new mulch in the flower beds.  It looks nice and eventually becomes fertilizer for the plants!
