The Masters House

Now that we are starting to wind down from moving ourselves and moving my brother-in-law into his house (yeah! I have my office back) we are beginning to look at the projects that we want to do around the house. We have talked about a lot of these projects here and there but now we are reaching the point that we have to define them a little more and prioritize them.

Here is a quick list of the projects that we are looking at in their respective categories in their preliminary order:

Outdoor Projects

• Retaining wall in the back yard
• Brink planters in the front flowerbeds and trees
• Side yard fences separating side yards from the back yard
• Trees in the backyard
• Outdoor staircase from the second story deck to the first floor
• Outdoor shed for the garden equipment

Indoor Projects

• Window Tint on the remain windows
• Paint the formal dining room, downstairs bathroom, and my office
• Install the new curved shower rod in the downstairs bathroom
• Install the plastic pads on dining room chairs and table

Garage Projects

• Wood storage area for wood used for wood working
• Storage cabinets and a counter on my wife’s side of the garage
• Cabinets on my side of the garage
• New workbenches

Woodworking Projects

• Outdoor furniture including chairs, tables, and a bar
• Dinning Room Table and Chairs (if we don’t buy them instead)
• Entertainment Center, coffee tables, and end tables for the down and upstairs family rooms
• New bedroom furniture for our room

That is the quick list off the top of my head. I joke with people saying that I have 5 years of projects on the books already. That list makes it look like ten years. Oh well, they are fun things that will make out house nicer, more energy efficient, and more comfortable place to live. It is our 20 year house after all.

I am starting on the outdoor furniture this weekend and will update on how that comes along.
