The days are long and warm, the kids run around outside with glee…

and I have a huge backlog of house projects to complete as well. I’ve been slacking for two summers now because of school. Well, I have no excuses now, the joys of home ownership have taken hold, its time to buckle down and work that list. Man, its a big one. Some of this stuff is leftovers from last year that I couldn’t finish! Lets take a look at the rundown of some biggies..

• Replace breezeway storm doors (1 done! and oh my God it works right!)
• Power wash the house
• Plant Veggie Garden
• Stain Deck
• Stain deck chair
• Fix Dryer Vent
• Finish trim in living room (started that one last year!)
• Replace fly screen sliding door, again (purchased and waiting)
• Cut down dead trees
• Caulk sidewalk at front stoop (mostly done)
• Minor outside painting of door frames
• Figure out why the dryer isn’t drying (%&*@#! POS just bought a new one) New dryer installed now
• Condemn the swing set
• and probably a bunch of stuff I can’t think of at the moment.

Ah the cost of home ownership. Yeah yeah, you must be thinking I’m such a whiner. Well, I am! This sucks! I want to kick back instead but hey who doesn’t. Think of this list as my motivational tool to help me get this crap done.

The Storm Door from hell project…Nothing is ever easy around here
