THINGS I'VE (HAD) DONE IN THE LAST 2-3 WEEKS

Decided on a "push" to get a few projects somewhat finalized where there weren't so many "loose ends" around here. Here's the off-the-top-of-my-head list:

Outside
2. Sod laid in back yard thanks to Gary and Tracie Allen of Eden Landscaping. Originally just planned on partial sod in back covering one of the SEVEN beds in the backyard.
3. Revision-had two additional beds yanked out, some items salvaged for transplanting elsewhere, sodded
4. Had large bed on west side cleaned out, weeded, hoed and mulched for later planting
5. Three patio beds all weeded, hoed, mulched, transplanted items and planted annuals for color thanks to Ryan Biddick (and myself!)
6. Planted flowers in pots for back and front yard.
7. All invasive monkey grass dug up and removed
8. Removed all native stone from all beds surrounding house
9. Driveway bed revamped with native stone and giant rocks from back beds, weeded, hoed, mulched ready for additional planting
10. Front of house beds revamped adding stacked stone, removing all monkey grass, weeded, hoed, mulched ready for additional planting.
11. 6+ azaleas transplanted to front area for proper growth
12. All outdoor lighting cleaned
13. Patios, trim and beams cleaned
14. Hoses attached and installed in carts-front and back
15. Ping Pong table picked up and in garage ready for action!

INSIDE
1. Ordered about a dozen wrought iron doorknobs to replace the gold contractors knobs that had NOT been replaced previously when they PARTIALLY replaced SOME of the gold contractors knobs with the pricey wrought iron ones! Took about 1 1/2 hours to order at Garbe's with Dave. Still got home short two--my fault!
17. Dining room light from old house reinstalled in kitchen area
18. New fan purchased and installed for hearth room-old ugly fan removed and disposed of!

20. House address sign installed on mailbox (finally!)
21. Cabinet door underneath kitchen sink repair to shut without hair tie
22. Two drawer slides repaired so that drawer would actually open and close
23. Two massive holes patched, repaired and painted
24. Small gameroom tv mounted on master bedroom wall
25. New TV ordered, delivered and installed in gameroom
26. Most of new doorknobs installed
27. Daughters bathroom painted and fixtures re-installed (needs touch up!)
28. New bedding for daughters room added for a successful completion of a tough 6th grade year.
29. Pillow covers for sofa, bedroom bench and bedroom chair made

LEFT TO DO

1. Some additional flowers/plants planted
2. Front porch concrete stained
3. Buy 2 barstools
4. Windows cleaned
5. Scrapbook room picked up and organized properly
6. Remaining boxes in gameroom emptied, items gone through and put away from move

Whew! Think I can get it wrapped up TODAY?!! No WONDER I'm tired!!
