Things to do

A.K.A. Sharing my pipe dream

I know you know that I have a townhouse and you also know that I like to work on it home improvement-ly speaking. I find it fun and challenging to see what I am able to accomplish (albeit with some help from my friends and family). Lacrosse season is winding down and it looks like I am going to have some time off after work - hooray!

So with that understanding, I have made a list of everything around the house that I would like to accomplish... (in no particular order, and not necessarily exclusive of any additional work, just all I could think of over lunch)

I. My Room
1. hang pictures/art work
2. locate & hang candle holder
3. install the new & already painted doors

II. Guest Room
1. de-clutter!!!
2. patch walls & ceiling
3. paint walls, trim & ceiling
4. arrange furniture
5. install home gym

III. Upstairs Bathroom
1. paint walls & ceiling
2. install & paint trim

IV. Downstairs Bathroom
1. remove wallpaper
2. patch & paint walls, ceiling & trim
3. install & paint new (w/o a hole - so nice & non-ghetto)
4. purchase & install new light fixture
5. ? sand & paint under sink cabinet

V. Basement
1. de-clutter!!!
2. organize
3. deliver all of my sister & BIL's "stuff" back to them (or at least Mom's house)
4. clear & organize paperwork, etc. in computer area
5. replace carpet
6. install some sort of key entry door (possibly french doors?)

VI. Storage/Laundry room
1. de-clutter!!! (are you sensing a pattern here?)
2. organize

VII. Upstairs/hall area
1. paint wall
2. replace trim
3. replace carpet (also on stairs down)

VIII. Kitchen
1. replace cabinets
2. replace counter top
3. new dish washer

IX. Front yard
1. power wash (? replace siding)
2. paint/replace trim around front door
3. paint/replace front door
4. paint/replace rain gutter
5. mulch garden

X. Back yard
1. power wash (? replace siding)
2. replace & rebuild deck out main floor
3. build raised deck area out basement door
4. remove/rework garden
5. French Doors out main level!!!

I'm sure there is more that I would like to do and some of these things were added in as I was typing the list up, but it's at least somewhere to start.

(and yes, I do realize that I will probably never actually get finished... but a girl can dream, right?)
