Happy New Year!

Happy New Year.
I've had the week off from work and have generally putzed around the house.  My wife and daughters have been fighting a cold this past week, which has limited our mobility.

Today I started prepping the half bath to be painted tomorrow.  There were eighteen nail pops that needed to be spackled which is kinda high.  Some probably didn't need to be fixed, but when I saw several obvious ones, I got out the flashlight and went to work.

In between coats of spackling, I also replaced the bathroom's exhaust fan.  The fan that the builder installed was extremely loud and would wake us up if it was running as it is below our bedroom.  The new one is nice and quiet.

I've also been starting to think about what I want to do with the basement.  I don't have a workshop right now, just an area where I have my workbenches and tools laying out.  The basement walls have no insulation and consequently it gets pretty cold down there.  Getting some studs and insulation up on the walls will warm things up, however I'm still in the mulling phase of this project and am not sure I'm happy with what I've come up with so far.
