Thank you for sharing! I love your fishing pole idea. What kind of hardware mounting system did you use? I also think that adding a smoke alarm in the bedroom is a good idea.
Also, I forgot to list one of the other things that I've done: replace all of the screw channel moldings (the white vinyl moldings that cover up the screws used to join exterior panels.
Like you, I had to fix a crown molding, too, that was not firmly attached and also was a bit too long, causing it to bow out.
