Daily log
Posted by aaron in bathroom, closet, laundry room, porch on 3 August 2008
I don’t know if this will help or just turn this into a mess of uninteresting posts, but I’m going to try posting daily (or close to it) even if that means only bulleting small things I’ve started or finished. For example:
Over the last three days:
– took down porch screen door
– prepped hinges for new (actually old) screen door to go up
– cut and hung molding for upstairs bathroom door frames (well, the verticals)
– cut old tongue and groove boards and two supports for shelving in my closet
– finished all pipe connections for washing machine
By request: the house
More context shots as the situation warrants.
Yes, I also wound up buying the Landcruiser in a separate deal.
Strategery
I’ve decided on a new plan of action. Each day, I will do at least one thing on one of the larger projects that face me right now – scraping and painting the outside of the house, rewiring the attic (and a few other places), puttying a few holes so that paint can be reapplied as needed, etc. My thought is that in doing this I will a) keep myself moving forward and b) make some of the potentially overwhelming projects much more manageable over time. It’s easier to paint the side of the house when 3/4 of it is scraped and primed, even if it took me 3 weeks to get there.
