I did a job in August 2018 for a man with a Victorian house in Bryan. He has a north facing stained glass window protected by a piece of plexiglass. The window sill under the plexiglass has rotted out and was sagging. The sill underneath turned out to be a 2 by 10 board that went clear through to the inside trim under the stained glass. The client opted for the less elaborate job and I tore out only the rotten wood instead of removing the window and replacing the whole board. I filled in with a piece of ripped and shaped 2 by 4, then I ripped down a 1 by 6 to match the existing trim on the other three sides of the window and painted it to match.

I repainted my own Living Room in September 2017. Start to finish was only three days. My father had last painted it in 1992. We put a semi-gloss light blue on the walls and gloss dark blue on the trim. I left the ceiling white.
One of the odder problems we have is towel rods and towel rings, if there is not a stud in the wall where you want the rod or ring; you have to mount it to the sheetrock. This is not especially durable or permanent. My solution in my own Master Bath was to install a piece of 1x4 from stud to stud and install the ring and rod back where they are secure. The pieces are cut to fit, painted to match, and I painted the tops of the screws after. In retrospect, I should have cut out the sheetrock and installed half-inch plywood from stud to stud, then textured and painted to match, then it would not be obvious what I had done.
