What to do, what to do….

Posted by Jeffrey on Apr 13, 2007

So here it is mid-April and I was talking with friends last weekend and chatting about the fact that this was the first year that I did not have any sort of Reno activity planned and felt strangely odd. No it wasn’t that I was gloating that we had finished all the stuff we have planned to do on the house (whole kitchen and main bathroom, two jobs which I am loath to start) but that I felt sort of…. lazy.

Even as the words, “No, we are just going to enjoy the work I did on the backyard by sitting on the patio,” rolled off my tongue I thought of all the other stuff that I’d like to tackle. Apart from the aforementioned kitchen and bathroom (both of which require more disposable cash than we have at the moment, not to mention other potential pitfalls) there are a few other things which I might do. Like redo the trim on the upstairs doors and windows. Or how about build a new overhang on top of the back door. What about redoing the front porch which needs a bit of sprucing up?

These are all potential things which might get done this year (or not).

I have a question for you: given what you have read here so far, if this was your house, what would you do next?

bonus:

Maybe once the good weather comes, there will be less guilt and more enjoyment of the patio!

Interesting blog. I think you can use the smaller things like the trims. It is just really hard to get started, isn’t it? By the way if you do get around to having your kitchen done i think you might be interested in this: united-installers.com and look at the kitchens in the gallery section. You can get a kitchen 100% wood inside/out with crown moulding for about $10000-11000 including granite counter tops. I’m driving mine over from Mexico this summer and need some one to share the transportation fee with me. If you are intersted in getting a $30000 for about $11000 let me know. Keep up the good work on your home.
