I'm curious if any others have taken on any at-home projects while stuck at home?
My wife has been asking for me to tackle a big one for some time now, so here it is:
Post photos of yours too if you have them!
Sorry, mine uploaded out of order.

;) Looks great, by the look of your workshop I think you do a few of these sorts of diy projects
Occasionally I do! Typically it's interior barn-style doors and small stuff. This is the first time I've done a project this big. Many lessons learned on this one!
 
the project I've been working on , is on hold . my son bought a house Oct 2018 , and we've been fixing it up . the kitchen is next ,but I'm worried we could get it gutted and have problems getting materials , so it's on hold . replacing windows , insulation , roof , it's quite a job . only working on it on the weekends sure slows things down too . the ceiling was full of blow in insulation , what a mess that stuff is to remove . one morning at 3am a drunk driver hit the corner of the house . we did a temporary repair with aluminum flashing until the insurance adjuster came .

Very nice! I know how big those jobs are. Quite an undertaking for sure.
Is the shiplap on the exterior the shear layer? Or was that at one point the exposed siding?
 
Administrative leave from work due a nasty thumb injury wrestling a meth head and can't pass the requalification course to go back on the road ... But I have redone the fence around 16 acres. Reorganized my home gym. Built the most over engineered chicken coup I have ever seen, and done some serious yard work. That's in between physical therapy every day at home.... pretty sure I have been busier off work than the typical shift...
 
My wife has wanted me to work our flower beds since we moved in 3 years ago. The bushes looked fine, but it was grass or dirt and no divider to keep the yard separated. $300 and a day and a half later, I was impressed. It looks better than I was expecting and my wife was thrilled!
