I bought a house in 2019. It has a staircase with a multi bulb light fixture hanging above it. The bulbs closer to the top of the stairs, I can juuust barely reach from the top step. As the rear ones eventually went out, they stayed dead for some time, until I was forced to build this bridge. For scale, that is a 6 foot ladder. It worked a treat. I cut the board to fit exactly between the step and the opposing wall so it was impossible for it to move laterally, or rotate horizontally. The ladder is wedged between the step and the wall so the feet can’t move at all. Added clamp for extra measure.

Paid $800 for a contractor to re-tape and paint my cathedral ceiling seams—does this look like a bad job, or am I overthinking❓🤔

So I found this tile under linoleum in my bathroom in my 1890’s house 3 years ago but everyone said it was probably covered up because of asbestos so I covered it up with peel and stick tiles 😩. Thoughts? I love the original tile 😞

How can I add privacy to this door with large glass? Especially at night? Functionality is important
I was thinking a curtain as if it was a regular window. But the kitchen is immediately to the right side. I will have a trash can under those light switches. I fear that food waste splash may get onto the curtain.

He always has to be next to me. 🥰🐱 Sometimes he's good and just sits there and other times he tries to help a little too much!
