What do you have going on at your house?

I previously posted that we are remodeling our living rm, dining rm & hallway. I'm so excited!

This is the rest of the list:
Stain Decks
Stain boat dock
Grass seed on yard

mine...
paint three bedroom ceilings ( done)
paint living room ceiling ( done)
paint three bedroom doors( done)
paint new bathroom door( doing)
paint ds room ( done)
paint our room( doing this weekend)
paint dd room ( doing next weekend)
finish yard work ( once snow is gone from yard and it dries up a bit)
baseboards in rec room( we can cut them as soon as it stops raining)
and finish the doors and drawers for the kitchen( also as soon as it stops raining so dh can use the saw outside)
and new shed door ( too wet to do so)...

so once it stops raining( i have my fingers crossed) then most can be cut and done.

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.

the doors are brand new and had primer stuff on them...just painted them( the old doors were origional 1974 when the house was built and were UGLY).
it stopped raining just before lunch yesterday so the dh did the shed door and the bathroom door is done now too( dh is on vacation for a week so lots gets done).

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
