You've been busy!!

Do you sand your doors before painting? I have a terrible time with the paint flaking on the doors.

Oh boy I have a lot I'd like to do but what I think we'll get done is:

Stain the deck
Work up the ground for a bigger garden than last years
Build shelves in the basement for canning supplies
Clean out the garage
Get ready for a yard sale - not really about the house but it cleans up the attic where I'm storing all of this stuff.
Paint the girls' room

A few of our outside projects:

Clean and restain decks
Finish painting fence.
Clean up the siding on our garage and house, you wouldn't think that vinyl siding gets dirty, but boy it sure does!
Paint the outside window trim.
Would love to enlarge the garden, but you will see on this one.

Inside projects:

Finish up our downstairs with carpet and repaint some rooms.

We have the ugly 1974 doors upstairs! I wanted to replace them but my husband is insisting I can just paint them. I painted the inside of the doors in three of the rooms and it looks crappy. Thanks for getting back to me anyway
