6. Clean up the garage. Still not done. I need help with this, and help seems to be too busy.I did a few other things, too, that weren't on my original list.
1. Our washer broke and it took over a week to get the new part installed. In the meantime I used the laundromat.
2. Had the contractor fix the huge cracks in our kitchen ceiling while he had a crew at our house. He also installed 5 recessed fixtures, solving our lighting dilemma in the kitchen.
3. Primed and painted the bathroom and kitchen ceilings.
4. Re-caulked the bathroom shower.
5. Made two sofa pillows.
6. Painted a stack of frames black.

Good for you!
I have a weird question, well not really weird just personal. How much did it cost for the contractor to install the lights? i have the exact same issue in my kitchen. We are DIY updating it by painting cabinets etc, but we only have the 1 lighting fixture up top and it just isn't enough. I talked to my husband about doing it, but he doesn't like to mess with electricity. Maybe I could save to have this done.
Well, Me, it's hard to answer that question. Our contractor is a personal friend who deeply discounted for us. And the whole project was one price: bath lights, kitchen lights, and shower tile.
I did see a price list for Mr. Sparky, though. It was something like $200 per recessed fixture, if I remember right. (I believe Mr Sparky is a national chain and I assume their prices would be the same nationwide.)
Our experience has been that electricians will come out and give an estimate free of charge; unlike plumbers, who will charge lots of $$ for the trip out.
