House Projects continued...

House update. I've been spending most of my free time working on the house, getting it ready to sell. I will post progress pictures later, but for now here is how my list is going.

(1) Redoing the kitchen: new counter tops, fresh paint on the walls and cabinets, and new hardware!
- Old counter tops have been ripped out with the exception of the one with the sink... I wanted to keep running water for a few more days!
- Walls primed and finally painted last night.
- New counter tops will be installed on Friday.
- Tonight I plan to paint the cabinets and install the new hardware.
- I still have to paint the molding and ceiling (not on the original list).

(2) Tearing out at least one more heat registry from a main room. If you've been a reader for a long time, you know what a project the first two registers were. Here we go again!
- Done! And I've painted half of that room as well. The half below the chair rail is done. Above will be a different shade. That room also needs molding installed. I have it and hope to work on that some tonight.
(3) Re-latticing (is that even a word?) the underpinning of the deck and the privacy wall of my carport.
- Not completed. Lattice remains on the list.
(4) Repainting a few rooms, which will include spackling and sanding in more than one of those rooms!
- Partially completed as mentioned in regards to the heat register removal.
(5) actually doing massive cleaning and straightening both inside and out (crap, that means straightening the basement too!)
- Constant work in progress. However, have not even touched the basement yet.
(6) oh, and eventually trying to figure out how to disassemble those loft beds that were built in the room with no intention of moving later!
- Will get to this eventually.
(Other) The house has been inspected and I'm working on everything found to have it repaired before potential buyers come through. More details on this later, but I'm working on it.

As a whole, I've been making progress. It feels good to start knocking it out, but will feel much better when the work is completed and the house sells!
