The List

Last weekend, which seems like a month ago, but was really only like 6 days.  Oh, yeah, anyway, last weekend a friend asked me what was left to do in the house.  Man, that's a long list.

Here it is

Remodeling:

• Build a powder room and mud room in the old kitchen.
• Replace exterior door into the mudroom.
• Railing for mud room door.
• Tear out fake plastic brick wall in living room.
• Tear out and center the fireplace in living room.  and build a new one.
• Construct built-ins and add matching (custom milled, to match the original) trim around the stained glass windows.
• Re-Concrete driveway.
• Refinish or replace hardwood floors.  
• We're leaving the boring carpet in place until the rest of the work is done.  We're smart.
• Replace windows in the mudroom, master bedroom, and bath.
• Gut and remodel the 2nd story bath.  Probably down to studs.  Probably also involves some plumbing.  
• Take over the closet in Thomas's room and make it into a double closet in the master.
• Build a new closet in the weird shaped cubby in Thomas's room.  
• I think Jeff thinks we can skip this, but I think that's a bad plan.  If we don't build it when we take over the other one, we never will.  
• Refinish basement!  Including:
• Man Room
• Laundry Room
• 3/4 bath
• Storage and craft room
• Attic: what do we do here?  I don't know!  something about the HVAC and set it up to be a useful space.

Those yew are GONE, by the way.
