Our house is over a hundred years old, and when we moved here 12 years ago, I displayed some genuine ambition.
I remodeled and upgraded the bathrooms (got help with tile and electrical), laid a foundation and reframed and replaced walls in our attached garage-(it'd been rotting on a slab), reroofed the same garage, tore out carpet and linstalled hardwood floors in the main rooms, painted the inside, repaired/rebuilt the porch and a bunch of other stuff.
I've aged.
This summer I intend to rinse out a couple of glasses and place them in the dishwasher.
I'm looking at beginning and completing the entire project sometime in August.
Whew!
Probably not exactly what the op had in mind in the original question, but my project this summer has been getting my (only)child ready to leave for college! Doesn't sound like it would take that much effort but once I saw the suggested list (which I probably should have glanced at earlier!) I have become quite overwhelmed! Also, making things a bit tougher is she has not wanted anyone to talk about anything to do with going away! Plus I am starting to wish I could go back and perhaps work on some of my parenting skills! For an example of what we're dealing with here: We were in Target this week, and as we're strolling through the cleaning supplies, I said, "Carson, I think we'll send these with you(pointing to the Tide "pods") it will be easier for you I think". She stops dead in her tracks, looking at me with utter confusion and says, "What are you talking about, don't they take care of that for you? Not kidding. Sister's going to have a bit of a learning curve once she gets there!
stuff.
