Vacation TODO:
As of 4:30 today I am officially on vacation until the 27th of November! This is my second week-long vacation in 2 months and I’m happy to have it - Atticus isn’t getting any LESS-mobile, and our house needs to be child-proofed. In our case this primarily means one thing: cabinet doors.
My dad and I started the cabinet doors when he was here in October. After he left I went back to work and things got busy again. I don’t think I’ve ventured into the shop for more than a screwdriver since.
I have a number of projects planned for the next week. The big question is how many of them can I get done, and in what order?
- Kitchen cabinet doors. 11 total. 4 important ones for the base cabinets.
- Kitchen cabinet drawers. 7 total.
- Upper cabinet crown.
- Kitchen nook seating and table.
- Kitchen island trim and panels.
- Kitchen under-cabinet lighting.
- 3 interior doors: sand, varnish, install with hardware. (Important baby-proofing item…)
- Paint kitchen ceiling and walls (already primed).
- Paint foyer ceiling and walls.
- Electrical panel - re-order the breakers and document them all.
- Strip and sand baseboard for the living / dining room. Determine if it can be re-varnished.
- Cable TV to the kitchen. Forgot this when we had the walls open (DOH!)
- Window sill for kitchen nook. Started this but is incomplete.
- Exterior lights by the back doors.
- Dining room chandelier (choose, purchase, install).
- Dining room speakers (purchase, install - I prewired for them before we drywalled…)
- Cat door platform (ask Trissa…)
- Clean the upstairs hall closet - it’s a MESS!
