Honey do list

We bought our house a little over a year ago. Did tons of work to it before moving in and it seems the "joys" of home ownership are never-ending. When we moved in, one of the first things I did was start a :Things 4 the House: list. Mostly containing things to get for around the house like a digital thermostat and tables clothes. But some are a little bigger. Like paint the deck, trim the trees, build and plant a garden.

As I was cleaning today I found the list and decided there need to be a lot more things added to it. So, here is my continued list from August 2009:

  • Stove pan covers = DONE
  • Light fixtures (halls, bedrooms, and kitchen) =Kitchen DONE
  • New locks for doors
  • Digital thermostat = DONE
  • Drawers for under washer & dryer
  • Trim trees = DONE once
  • Decorative shelves = 2 up, would like more
  • Table cloths for both tables = dinning room table covered
  • Cover for scrapbook stuff
  • Kitchen table = DONE
  • Material boxes for scrapbook stuff =DONE
  • Build raised garden bed =DONE
  • Seeds for garden =DONE
  • Entertainment center =DONE
  • DVD shelves = DONE
  • Address Book =DONE
  • Table for entryway = DONE, for Jake's 28th bday
  • Table by middle bedroom door (small, for flowers or a pic)
  • Nice hooks for towels on bathroom doors = DONE
  • Cabinet to go above toilet in bathrooms = DONE, in master bathroom only
  • Stain the deck = DONE
  • Remove and rebuild lattice (sp?) work = taken down, posts painted, tops of posts up
  • Flooring for kitchen and bathrooms
  • Round mirrors to put on brown wall in dinning room
  • Build deck by front door
  • Flowers/bushes for under front window
  • Tile for back splash in kitchen and bathrooms (replace wood back splash)
  • Bigger dresser for my clothes
  • Paint outside of house
  • "Welcome" sticker for front door
  • New fixtures for both bathtubs
  • Deeper bathtub in master bath (I hate being 1/2 covered when in the bath)
  • Build another raised garden bed for zucchini and squash
  • Shed in back yard
  • Replace fence (w/2 gates)

I'm sure the list will only get longer and longer as more time passes. I'm excited to see what our next project will be. And maybe we will be able to talk my dad and Jake's dad into visiting us and helping with a project or two...I will even cook :O)
