We hope to get more done on the house in 2013. Addie will continue to grow; we need to make sure that the house will be safe for her as she learns to crawl and walk and get into more stuff around the house. Of course time is somewhat limited due to Addie needing time and interaction and Andy continuing to work on his degree. He will be taking his last class in the Spring semester and then finishing up his research and writing his thesis; we think he will defend his thesis at the end of the 2014 Spring semester. So between these two time demanding activities, we hope to get the following things done:
1. Fix stairs (not handrail)
2. Install baseboards
3. Make downstairs bookcases built-ins
4. Paint Guest Bedroom and Powder Room
5. Sand and paint porch railing
6. Replace French doors
7. Finish baby proofing the house
8. Finish Adele's room
9. Hang curtains downstairs
10. Fix thresholds at all of the doors; they have drafts
I'm sure that we will add many more things to the list throughout the year, but these are the major things that we will try to tackle. Some of these will probably even get put off to the following year as tends to happen. There are plenty of times that we hope to do something but later decide that it doesn't bother us enough currently to warrant getting done because some other things is driving us bonkers. Whatever, all progress is good!
