The LIST

David and I were recently shot into gear to get the house in order.  It is officially GET THE HOUSE IN ORDER time.

Earlier this year we checked off a few other overdue to-do list items, like removing dead trees from the back yard.  There are just some things we should not attempt to DIY- like cutting down trees with the potential of smashing your house.  We called professionals, and I got to watch nervously from inside.



What we've done so far:
Cut down trees
Started so back yard clearing & clean-up
had plumber fix faucet

What we need to do:
sell the Toyota
touch up paint in master bath
paint above chair rail in craft room
organize/clean out craft room closet (we did David's downstairs office closet last year)
DEEP CLEAN the house (wiping baseboards and cleaning blinds, etc)
upholster craft room reading chair
fix back gate
strip & repaint/seal the deck
create landing pad for trash bins outside
create walkway in front garden

What looms in the future:
painting the house (you're supposed to do that every 5-6 years, right?)
still thinking about that detached office out back
make downstairs office a guest room again

LET'S DO THIS!
