After moving into the house I started a series of small home improvement tasks. Some of them have genuine safety reasons but many happened only because changing things demonstrates residence. Here's an incomplete list of things I've done:

  • added a ceiling fan to the bedroom
  • rewired the doorbell with modern wire so it doesn't ring everytime you walk past the dining room heat register
  • added shelving, a phone jack and power outlets to create a server corner
  • added appliance-grade outlets behind the stove and fridge (rather than the ungrounded lamp-grade extension cords running through holes in the floor they previously had)
  • added a motion light to the break-in-ariffic back yard
  • cleaned out the gutters (I knew there's a reason I got that condo)
  • replaced the rotting wiring for the basement lighting
