House Stuff Part 3
Here's an updated list in the past week or so.
Completed in last four days. Stain remaining items for bathrooms Clean west end of basement Stain west end of basement Paint ceiling and walls of west end of basement Paint north wall of stair well Replace mantel shelf (actually Fantastik cleaned off all the paint easily so I just cleaned it)
For those scoring at home (or if you're by yourself) this means I beat my timetable by two days. It didn't seem like I was doing much, but I kept puttering around and then all of the sudden the floor was done, and then the first coat was done, and well, I thought, how cool will it be if I finish the painting tonight?
Still To do list Re-clean basement floor after painting Install trim in basement Clean trim around doors Get countertop for washroom Install basement cabinet Miter and install trim (some mitered and installed, will probably take 2 hours total when the rest of the room is painted) Clean house for crashers for the Scribal Symposium Finish creating the workshop for the Symposium
Now I can add projects :)
Replace entertainment center setup. I've needed to do this for a while so I can organize my DVDs. I totally believe I'm not OCD, but I've stared at this mish-mash of DVDs too friggin' long. So friggin' long I've developed a "huge guy theory" and "serial crusher theory" as to why they're a mess. I've actually started this and have 2 of the 8 pieces completed. Only 6 need to be done to get the basic requirements, and 3 of those are like 15min projects. I suspect they'll get done tomorrow :)
Install bookcases. I have a hole in the wall where a speaker was put by the previous owner. I found two of the cheap Wal-Mart bookcases on Craigslist for $10 total so I'm going to do a wee bit of refurbishing and nail them to the studs to cover that hole. For probably $25 or so in parts, I'll have new bookcases and cover the big hole. Wheeeee.
Finish website for student medieval studies group Contemplate seeing if I can do the stuff to the downstairs bathroom before Scribal. (i.e. repaint and replace medicine cabinet and lights with the contractor's help. I'm not going to worry about the trim. I may just clean it, but the downstairs bathroom has had a bunch of paint drops, stain drops, and sealant drops from all the projects and it just needs to be repainted.
Anyway, I'll be able to start moving stuff back into place tomorrow evening, which rocks.
