The List

While wandering around different open houses, we came across a really beautiful house on NE 32nd.  It had a beautiful deck, great landscaping, chickens (which Amy hated, of course), master bedroom, etc.  We chatted with the owners and they said that they did most of the renovations themselves over the past couple of years.  They even showed us a giant list of things to do - on which every item was crossed off.

Lo and behold, we've now got our own.

Unfortunately, my handwriting hasn't improved since the 4th grade.  I'll try and recreate it here:

• spike the birds (there are two pigeons that live on the north side of the house -- it's evidently the top priority to make their roost less comfortable)

  

  My attempt at getting organized.
  

• get a garden plan together
• tear up carpet
• electric bill
• water bill
• gas bill
• start garbage service
• chimney demo
• foundation repair
• oil tank decommission
• sewer quote and schedule
• sewer repair
• get structural engineering plans from Nathan (the architect)
• Driveway repair?
• Energy trust interview (11/14)
• plumber walk-thru
• electrician walk-thru
• tear up linoleum in the kitchen
• Fireplace discussion with Craig

it's far from complete.  It's missing things like "redo the kitchen" or "add a bathroom", but we'll probably break those out in finer detail in a bit.
