Let's go with the good news first.
- The walls are painted
- The exterior doors are painted
- The trim is painted
- The ceiling is painted
- The lights have been replaced
The bad news is that the closet doors were fastened on (or actually we are assuming it was a fix at some point in the life of the doors) in such a way that we don't really have a choice. Either we paint them there (and allow them to be wonky because they can't be fixed easily) or we replace them. So here's my updated list of what is left to be done in that room.
- Paint the inside of the closet
- Replace the closet doors
- Put up baseboard
- Build bench
- Replace rug
What does that make the entryway, 50% or so?
In other house news, our windows are being replaced this summer! (also known as, our bank account hates us) Our windows are original to the house, single pane with storm windows that are falling off on the outside. The casings are not sealed really at all and they are all push out windows. Basically by replacing the windows we should notice a difference in the winter with keeping the heat, in the summer with keeping the heat out, and hopefully all year round keeping more insect activity out! Yay us!!
Doing the windows has rearranged some timeline for house stuff too. The option we could afford on the windows means that we will need to paint our own exterior trim. What better time to paint the whole house? So we have that to look forward to possibly this fall or next spring.
Also, we just did some room rearranging to allow our window guys easier access to all the windows. For the first time since owning this home, Chad and I have the master bedroom as ours. We put kids in it up to this point so it could serve as a playroom and bedroom, but we always knew down the line we'd reclaim it eventually.
Tentatively this is my upcoming house projects
- Finish Entryway
- Paint window trim + exterior
- Paint girls' bedroom
- Paint master bedroom
- Demo basement
