This is my TODO list for the house. Anyone want to help?
This TODO list is NOT FINISHED - I'll edit it MORE later.
Den
- Fix Ceiling
Hole, bad patching, leak damage - Insulate Floor
Redo the poor insulation job at the crawl space with solid foam insulation, making sure to seal any air leaks. - Check Wall Insulation
Against the workshop, ensure that the wall has proper insulation and if not, redo and seal. - Repair Drywall
Sections of drywall around windows need repaired and smoothed due to poor installation. - Build Corner TV Cabinet
A built in floor to ceiling TV cabinet needs to be built to better make use of the space. - Reframe French Doors
Something is off with the frame around the door. I need to remove it to check insulation and rebuild as needed. - Replace Trim and Baseboard Molding.
All of the trim around the windows needs replaced. It doesn't match the house and it was done very, very poor. - Replace Door
The door needs to be replaced. It's not installed well and it's damaged. - Tile at Door
The particle board needs to be taken out and backer laid down to install 12" slate tile in a section near the entrance. - Replace Carpeting
It's just bad. Very, very bad.
Dining Room
- Baseboards
All the baseboards need sanded down and painted, replacing 1/4 round as needed. - Wall Touchups
In some places the walls still need some slight touchups which can be done with spackle. - Crown Smoothing
The plaster crown molding in areas have some cracks, these need Ved out and smoothed over to prep for painting.
Inner Foyer
- Insulation
I need to check the insulation in this section, both the walls and if I can get to it, the crawl space as it's awful cold in that area. - Tile Floor
The tile on the floor needs cracked up. Since it's held in place with thinset on top of concrete I need to work carefully. I'll no doubt end up gluing down a layer of 1/4" plywood, or backerboard, regardless. - Replace Trim and Baseboard Molding.
It doesn't match the rest of the house at all. - Settling Cracks
In the areas where the house has settled there are slight cracks along the wall to ceiling junction. These need cleaned up, filled and fixed. - Threshold to Puppy Room
The current threshold seems to have some ply against it. Need to check that, fix it and make it look better.
Large Bathroom
- INSULATION
The crawl space insulation needs redone. The walls need checked and redone. The ceiling needs checked and redone. - Air Barrier
Since I can feel strong drafts any time the heater is on in that area, I'd say there's some bad air leaks. I'll be patching those and sealing the whole room up. - New Flooring
The current floor, which thankfully is NOT glued down needs to be removed and replaced. - Replace Trim and Baseboard Molding.
It doesn't match the rest of the house at all. - Shower
It leaks. The current mortar shower pan needs cracked out, and every shower wall needs destroyed and replaced with backerboard, water barriers and etc. Alot of work. - Vanity
Repair and replace doors / drawer fronts. - Countertop
Remove and replace, moving single sink to the center area. - Closet
Reframe to give a slightly shallower, but much wider closet. - Vent Fan
Finish replacing it, redoing the drywall around the current (large) hole. - Shower Lights
Replace with updated lights rated for wet area use. If possible, with a vent fan, else remove feature.
Puppy Room
- Replace Trim and Baseboard Molding.
It doesn't match the rest of the house at all. - Strip Floor
The floor needs stripped to remove any finish, dirt or residue. Tiles will need glued back down in places, then the floor needs sealed and waxed. - Replace Lights
Something else needs done with the lights in that room. - Redo Both Closets
Change the closets around as needed to make them more efficient.
Half Bath
- Strip Flooring
The pink tile floor must die. It will be stripped, sheeted with 1/4" ply and redone. - Strip Wall Tile
Pink wall tile needs stripped, with bead board wainscoting planned in it's place. - Remove Vanity
The vanity and sink need removed, placing a desk in it's place with a nice sink mounted within. - Remove Wall Mirror
Wall mirror will be removed in favor of a hanging mirror. - Redo Closet
Change the closet around as needed to make it more efficient. - Replace Toilet
Old, pink toilet needs replaced. - Replace Light
Current light is sad, remove and replace with something better.
Family Room
- Destroy Fireplace Mantel
The current mantel is ugly as heck and needs replaced with something more proper for the house. - Repair Ceiling
There is some veining in the ceiling near the fireplace caused by moisture. This will need sanded or chipped, filled and painted. - Repair Walls and Crown
Same as above, the walls have some issues above the fireplace and the plaster crown is cracked in some placed and needs repaired. - Redo Ceiling Vents
The vents in the floor upstairs, which are in the family room ceiling, need redone to make them look better.
