On Deck with the House

New stove
Bedroom door
Fixed fence

Nearest pathway to be able to rent the room to strangers.

Michael and Hannah aren't moving out but their dream is a townhouse, and I want to be ready not hopelessly confused when the time comes and they are ready. Plus it's a downside of being in the apartment that it becomes possible to just ignore stuff about the house and our lifestyle there that makes us unhappy, cause we'll always be gone in a few hours. But in Europe I was far enough away to see what I wanted.  Plus the stove was making them crazy too. And just makes us more pro.

Spring means growth

Put the garden to bed
New mulch?
Pruning before the grow season
Possoms in the roof again

This is just making me happier stuff. Michael takes care of the mowing atm but there's a bunch of stuff beyond that which requires our knowledge of what is good and bad and what we want where and what trees need to be dug up.  I gotta be in it but there's a lot of it and it's in such a below my standards state that working feels like being not good enough not like accomplishing things.

Micheal and Hannah's house project

So they have moved a couple of times and when they moved with us there were a bunch of cardboard boxes below. When we were mostly in the apartment they started going through it all, and that's been kind of ongoing but Hannah just left for the states and that was there completion plan so now I could help Michael finish bc it's mostly done.

Our lifestyle stuff
Stop crouching over a laptop with your food in bed like a gollum
Be able to find a towel without having to sort through stuff
Dresser combined
Move out big dresser
Move in couch
Get 3d monitor screen and docking station to house
Blackout curtain behind?
Clear linen closet

When we moved into the back of the house we put both our dressers in the library where the click clack bed used to be so they fit nice but there's no place in our area to sit. Which we've still got the living room but a bunch of things happened. Mostly we moved the computer out of there and the TV is useless to us without it but also there was sorting in there and j is a total introvert who retreats into his hidey hole (he and Michael living together alone would like never see each other boys are weird). But I can't cope with the rat in a nest thing and I miss having a quiet place to sit that's not my bed and you don't always want to take over the public area. So anyhow we combined our dressers into the smaller dresser and moved the big dresser to the front room and etc. Now we have both a couch and a guest bed in there.

Stuff we always want both places, should I rebuy
Espresso machine
Sonicare toothbrushes
Js razor we kinda accidentally rebought

Cleaning out our filthnests
Ok there's two, one of balls just needs to go to Goodwill, plus empty tubs but maybe they're a part of papers

Papers is the hard one but I need a staging area for that so it's at least after the M&H sorting project finishes and also I need to commit to doing it like a job once it gets started and I have no idea files, notebooks what's the form of this but it needs to happen bc Lord knows what's under there and it's the last of my coming home projects.

Rent out front room

Empty front room
Clear linen closet
Lockable door
Improve back door maybe combination
Occupied thing on bathroom
Maybe a locking hardware on Michael and Hannahs room, same as ours
Rejig living room
TV in one of the bedrooms instead?
Table in living room with two couches as social space can it happen?
Get rid of linen closet or dresser for new person
New bed
Is it worthwhile to try to create second real carpark?
Clearing projects
Bathroom, we need to go from two drawers to one or install a medicine cabinet gordion knot question what is the length of screw that won't pierce my single skin walls
Kitchen reduce and combine appliances so we can have 3rd shelf free.
Go through pots, sell copper etc to create zones for people if they cook
Dishes and glassware do they need to change?
Is a bigger fridge a necessity, how big will fit in that hole

Bear in mind at the start that everyone's against this plan to begin with so it may not even happen, and of course it's a negotiation with Michael and Hannah too (which room do they want bedroom is bigger but front room could have the closer entrance, good parking space, exclusive use of the porch) but of course they might not even be there when that is happening so we'll see and don't want to change their world til it's actually necessary. But I consider most all the stuff on that list good ideas just because, there's a lot of things I still have full time stuff there for and I'm living there part time, you gotta change with your life. So I'm gonna proceed down the list and see where we are.

So I've done a bunch of this stuff already, the stove, I've found the doors, we've mostly moved into our space and I've swapped the couch in. And a bunch is unstarted. I'm kind of planning on this project taking me to the end of the year. So we'll check in on what's left then. Me going domestic out of town a bunch is also a thing tho.
