Another suggestion: deep clean your exterior windows. It's amazing how dirty they get, and how much more light they let in when they're clean. That's especially true if your area has a lot of dust, smoke, smog, or other atmospheric particulates.

So glad to see this video. I've said for years that flooring, paint, light fixtures and hardware will transform a bland space. You nailed it again Glen!

nice list - one upgrade I did to our house last year was adding smart light switches for all my outdoor lights. Now we don’t have to remember to turn on or off the outdoor lights, they automatically turn on at sunset and off at sunrise now. The on/ off time adjusts itself with the changing of the season here in the midwest where sunrise/ sunset vary between summer/ fall/ winter/ spring.

we can also set them to whatever sequence/ schedule we want for them from our smartphones or tablets locally and even remotely while we are out of town traveling.

The taller baseboard is a great tip! I did that to my last home, and it made a HUGE diffference!

Great information. Great delivery. Thank you for not wasting the viewers time with loud annoying music and attempts to be cute or clever (obnoxious) before giving the information.

Only problem with 'smart' devices is, when the manf. decides to dump the current system, or simply goes out of business. Then you're left with replacing everything again, or sticking with tried and true controls.
As a network engineer, I'd suggest doing some research on some of the Open Source options available. Generally cheaper, and will be updated and supported much longer.

I ran an LED strip underneath our kitchen cabinets and we absolutely love them. It lights up the countertop with a soft white light that manages to match the light from the microwave and, at night, isn't so bright as to be harsh.

It's nice that the mods you mentioned don't require expensive tools.
Nice to see ya again, hope you and family are doing well.

Holy Cow! You mentioned "attention to detail, " outstanding. This is the problem even with some so-called contractors, they think things they do are, "good enough." This was a good video for rookie home owners and young folks who have no idea. Thanks.

I just love you!! So glad I discovered you. Thank you for your contribution to the world... and my home!!

Worth mentioning those new Decora outlets also had built-in baby proofing. Good upgrade.

Dear Glen... you are simply...THE BEST!
God bless you!

Great video! I replaced all the ugly boob lights with can lights and it really made a huge difference. Only took an afternoon to replace 8 in total.

My daughter requested LEDs for her room and I installed them. Never thought about adding LEDs anywhere else but your examples looked good.

I am doing almost everything you said ! The wall switches, paint and decluttering ! Updating my lights and flooring. Facet’s and door handles! Did have to just wanted to be my home and not my brothers. I bought it from him ! So I am in the process of kicking him out! Thank you for the video !

Yes, started decluttering in the kitchen today....

[barryquinn]

Glad to see you're still doing videos! 😀 The Youtube algorithm hasn't been putting your videos in my feed for ages. I just hit the bell!

I love that you are back bud I took a whole off wood working and projects but I’m back baby

[javiermondragon]

You're an excellent person my friend... thanks for all. I wish You all the best. A Big hug from México

Love this! Solid tips! I like joint compound over spackle for drywalls. Wood filler for baseboards. Straight flat boards are way easier than colonial or designed baseboards. Nests, Rings, and Schlage Encodes are a GAME changer
