Time for a list!

I love lists. Sometimes they keep me on task and sometimes they do nothing but allow me to empty my overly active mind of a few thoughts. :D

So, since I'm going all budget goddess, I thought it would be a good thing to make a list of cheap/free house projects I can work on.

Yard stuff - while mulch & stone do cost money, I've already purchased most of what I need for the current project. And the rest of it can be done in steps to keep the cost down. Plus, there are plenty of free things I can do in my yard:

• rototill sections that I want cleared of grass
• pull weeds
• plant a few plants I already bought
• fill holes I already dug
• pull weeds
• install my rain barrel
• start taking apart my stone patio for repairs
• pull weeds (this one is endless)
• put together my fire pit area 
• prune shrubs/trees/roses

House - So much to do inside, it hurts my brain thinking about it. But so much of it is free or super cheap!

• finish painting cabinets (already have the paint)
• re-paint kitchen walls (might need a gallon of paint for this)
• finish painting trim in kitchen (already have the paint)
• paint living room walls (already have the paint)
• install thermostat (already bought)
• build kitchen table (might cost $15 to buy extra bits)
• hang shelves in kitchen
• remove wallpaper in foyer, bathrooms, & 2nd bedroom
• finish painting trim in 1st bedroom
• organize lots of closets
• get rid of more stuff (always)
• hang art in dining area
• remove tile in foyer
• remove tile glue from foyer floor
• paint foyer floor (will need paint for this)
• replace light fixture in dining area (already have new fixture)
• paint inside of closets (have enough paint for 2 or 3 closets)
• hang curtains in dining area (will need curtain rod, have curtains)
• clean out / organize basement storage room
• clean / organize laundry room
• clean / organize big basement room
• clean / organize basement project room (it's a huge basement)
• hang curtains in living room (need curtain rods, have curtains)
• clean / organize garage
• remove carpet in 2nd bedroom (the last of it)
• fix drywall in foyer, bathrooms, 2nd bedroom (after removing wallpaper)
  

Um, there's probably more but I didn't have coffee today so my mind is sort of dead... will update list later with more & keep it updated as I finish projects. Maybe I'll make a space for a link to the list on the sidebar.
