One More Mommy

Home Improvement is Killing My Nails

When we put the shower base in, I ripped my thumbnail off below the quick. Last night, moving the vanity cabinets into place, I ripped my index fingernail off - fortunately not below the quick, so not painful, just annoying.

We are closing in on finishing this bathroom, and it's very exciting to me. Because it's giving me time to think about the list of other projects we want to start on the house. In no particular order:

1. Finish Esposo's closet (Drywall hole, install shelving units)
2. Finish crown molding in dining room (caulk, sand, caulk, sand, paint)
3. Put up crown molding in living room
4. Finish decorating Luke's room (mural)
5. Regrade backyard
6. Pressure wash and seal concrete patio
7. Build stair to back patio
8. Fill and seal garage floor
9. Build and install shelving/cabinetry in garage
10. Frame out basement
11. Rip down paneling in family room and put up drywall
12. Rip out vanity/medicine cabinet in 'kid' bath and replace
13. Stain and put up closet doors in front hall
14. Put normal closet bar in front hall closet
15. Rip out entire kitchen, including sliding glass door and replace all

The funny thing is, we considered this house to be in 'move-in condition' when we bought it.
