I know . . .

you're all going to be jealous! But I married a "real" man. Although this particular task did take years of convincing that it needed to be done. Ever since I first set foot in this house over 5 years ago I wanted new light fixtures since the ones installed by the builder were the cheapest available. But we only managed to replace our bedroom ones (1970s bug catchers) and the dining room. Finally now that we will be putting our house on the market asap I've convinced him that it would show better with some decent lighting. So I purchased them and he went to work. We weren't sure how he'd get the chandelier down but he managed it what I think is a manly and, for me, scary way.

Cameron starting to work.

Doesn't this look scary?

The new chandelier and you can see the new light in the upstairs hallway plus the paint job.

This is the painting project soon after I started.

Cameron got all of the lights up but two. One of which I decided I wanted to go back to Lowe's and get a different one and one chandelier for the staircase which our ladder is too short for him to reach. As you can see I also did some painting downstairs this month. I had to stop where I did because if I didn't it would be never ending and I'd have to paint all the way up to the hallway upstairs. I think it looks pretty good with the 2 colors. So as you can see Cameron is an amazing husband when it comes to handy work! (not the painting though - that is my job)
