The government giveth, and Kimby spends it..

So, I wrote about the list.
Look at what happens when we set our mind to it...
Let us take another look at the list...with some updates...shall we?

Finishing the kitchen ceiling (tiles will be ordered this week...as the tax rebate finally arrived) Ceiling is ordered, and will be here on Friday. Colours picked out for painting said ceiling..and purchased. The cans sit in my library as we speak.

Priming and sanding and painting of front hallway. Not only was the paint picked for this project, it was purchased, walls were made ready, and at the time of this update, 3/4's of the painting is completed.

Finish the laundry room. (it is half done, and I have given up on changing the flooring. I am just going to paint it and tack down a carpet runner)

Finish the downstairs bathroom. (Tiling is 3/4 of the way done, but need to find a small sink to make the room more usable)

Pick a colour, and then actually apply said colour of paint to upstairs bathroom. I have given up the desire to change out the tiles. They are ugly..but faced with the cost factor of replacing them in a room that is larger thatn my master bedroom...I will learn to live with them. Painting them is not an option. I have looked at it. It is not doable here. I may however swap out the countertop. It is ugly and blue. It too could be painted, but would not last as long as a new counter...There are 10 different colour swatches taped to the wall of the bathroom at this moment. While several of them are an absolute NO, there are still a few that have possibilities.

Add to this the normal spring jobs of cleaning up flower gardens, and this year starting an herb garden so i can stop running to the neighbours every time i am out of basil..and we have what is shaping up to be a busy few weekends. Went to plant sale this morning and purchased herbs. Also have containers to plant said herbs into. All are sitting on the front porch, awaiting a home, which will be dealt with tomorrow.

SO....

the list is getting shorter, although in the process of shortening the list, we of course have found other things that we may want to work on this year. Isn't that the way it always works?

How are you spending YOUR weekend?

As I live in an apartment, I don't have to worry about such things. I'm doing what I do most weekends - a little web work, a little computer repair, and a little programming, all for clients.

When you own you own computer business, weekends are usually slower, but never days off. I did, however, mix work with garage saleing in rain-that-was-almost-snow yesterday.

We have a huge list of things to do as well. This weekend we (aka ME) laid patio stones for a sandbox and path to the shed. Very uneven ground is now nice and even and my back is nice and sore. Then we went to a petting zoo and rode ponies. Nice end to the weekend.
