Weird way of trying to make amends?

So... a quick recap for those who don't know my story.

AH went to treatment last December, got out- drank a week later, beat me up, went to jail, got out of jail after a week, got on some psych meds and has been sober (with no dry drunkness) ever since.

He has never actually, really apologized for his behavior. He has said that he has made a lot of bad choices in the past two years. He also admitted to looking at a lot of pornography which, according to him "made him really angry at women and way more jealous".

Fast-forward to now--

He built all the kids closets for their rooms and he is remodeling our bathroom. He does custom cabinets and is asking me to pick out a stain that I would like on the wood (for the bathroom vanity) and telling me that he is building it for me. He is installing a new window in our bedroom, and all this weird stuff. He also got the family a new cat (cutest damn cat ever- his name is Freddy Mercury because he has cat AIDS) and he's putting a chainlink fence outside so the dogs can be free to roam......

I'm happy about the home improvements- but is this all some strange tactic to "make up" for bad behavior without having to give a "real" apology?
Should I even be putting thought into that- or just be grateful?

This guy is strange....I don't get him......
