Projects for 2012

This list is mostly for me.  I want to keep track of all the projects I want to work on over the next 12 months.  It will be nice to see what I can accomplish in a year's time.

  1. Laundry Room - paint walls; touch up trim and doors; stack washer and dryer; install cabinets; install locker system; install ironing cabinet
  2. Office - clean carpet; paint walls; touch up trim; install new blinds; buy and place office furniture; buy and place floor lamp and other lighting; install french doors; organize; add decorative elements (paintings, etc); buy and install wireless printer; buy desktop computer and monitor or laptop docking station
  3. Living Room - clean carpet; paint walls; paint trim; install new blinds; buy and place furniture; tune piano; buy new lamps; add decorative elements
  4. Foyer - paint walls; touch up trim and doors; buy and place furniture and decorative elements
  5. Wood Floors - refinish
  6. Dining Room - clean carpet; paint walls; add chair rail; install new blinds; buy new curtains; add decorative elements
  7. Exercise Room - reprime ceiling and walls; paint ceiling and walls; finish out electrical; mount TV and U-verse; buy fan(s); dehumidifier and pipe run to drain; install french doors
  8. Basement (general) - clean all drywall dust from ceiling, walls, and floor; reprime ceiling and walls; paint ceiling; finish out light fixtures

  10. Backyard - reseal/stain patio; finish north edge bed; finish bed next to house; install/build firepit
  11. House exterior - buy and install new coach lights, front door lights, back door light, post light

I think that's it.  If I run out of things to do, I'll add the kitchen to the list.  I'm almost done with the laundry room.  I still have the ironing cabinet to install (it hasn't been delivered yet) and I still need to touch up the trim and doors.  The office project will be starting in the near future too since I already have the paint and the furniture is being delivered on Wednesday!  This list should keep me busy.  I may post pictures of the completed projects...maybe even before and after photos!
