Stuff I want to do with the house
This is a list of stuff I or my roommates want to do with the house.
1. Paint the office red
2. Move in the office furniture that is in neighbors' basements
3. Get some sort of closet organizing system for the office. I will likely make a list later of what stuff needs to live in that closet so we know what sort of organizing needs to be done.
4. Art/pics on walls.
5. Paint the stairwell to the attic grey.
Electrical work, to be done by my cousin:
6. Move the light switch in the attic so it's actually near the stairs.
7. Put in a second overheard light over Doc's bed with a separate switch, likely on the same switch plate as the first.
8. Put in outlets where Doc has indicated on the walls.
9. Get separate switches for the attics light as much as possible.
10. Put in outlets in the basement. We have 3-4, we need around 12-16. Think four rooms worth of outlets, because that's essentially the size of the basement.
11. Fix the burned out light outside the back door.
12. Get lightbulbs for the front and back outside lights.
13. Knock out part of the unnecessary wall in the attic and put in a closet rod for Doc.
14. Paint the attics, Doc's choice of colors.
15. Put down flooring in the attic.
16. Figure out a way to get heat/AC to the basement. Heat is less crucial since we do have electric heaters on a couple of walls so it won't go below freezing. AC is more crucial so I can sleep during the summer. Unfortunately, the heat does not seem to want to rise from the basement in summer.
17. Put the pavilion into the back of the potter closet.
18. Cover up the potter closet to the cats can't hide there. We have a piece of plywood cut for this purpose, but it should be painted and have some sort of fastening mechanism to keep it from falling over, which it has already done.
19. Put a closet rod in the tall area of the potter closet for garb (this is in front of the covered storage.)
20. Seal the basement concrete.
21. Finish the unfinished basement walls (some are finished.)
22. Paint the basement.
23. Put down flooring in the basement.
24. Get the rest of my furniture and stuff out of storage.
At this point the house will be fully liveable. This is a very long list. I need to go call my cousin...
