what did you do around the house today?

Was actually done last week when it was warm. Was a long process, but added the sod to finish it. Before :
After:

Repurposed one of the spare rooms into a gym room. There was a sale on swisstrax flooring a couple months ago and finally got around to putting it in.

Installed a barn door on our front closet, which was just a drywall return, with a vinyl accordion door uninstalled before we moved in.

Did you buy this as a kit?
If so, where from?

I bought the cheapest barn door hardware kit i could find: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07PMCLDVV/

and then snagged a three-panel "Harvest" door from Timbertown: https://timbertown.ca/product/3-panel-harvest-36/

Painted it to a gloss white to match our trim and other finish carpentry, and burned a Sunday installing it.

The trickiest parts were:
- routing the "groove" out of the bottom but with a 1/4" straight bit and some jankery on a cheap old router, it got done. (maybe kit-based doors will have this pre-done for you)
- Finding studs in a 60 year old house with metal lathe everywhere.

Having a laser level really helped.

Rebuilt a toilet yesterday, upstairs one was well over 5 minutes filling the tank, handle was a bit buggered and it didn't like flushing properly many times - new guts and it's like new again.

Found a shingle on the sidewalk the other day so had to put a new shingle up and fasten down some existing ones around it.

I'm located in the NW so I don't think hail should be a problem they are made from tempered glass hold up pretty good against impact, it won't be as warm in the garage as they are not fully insulated but that's what the garage heater is for

going with all black frame and glass which will make my front door and upper deck glass railing ones i get around to replacing that



and thank for all the complements

Woke up to the sewer backing up and flooded my townhouses utility room and somewhat into the den. Been a shitty day trying to deal with landlord and getting it dealt with. City crew came to inspect the line and said there's no cleanout and the utility room is too tight so they couldn't check anything on the property side. Waiting for a plumber now. Not exactly a home improvement but didn't know where else to rant.

The place previously had had sewer issues too, when I moved in they had to jack hammer the garage pad to dig down and replace a section of the line and then found a huge void under the garage pad and needed to be filled and then redid the pad. Now this again, fuck this place.
