ToDo - So MUCH, ToDo.

I'd commented before to people that I've got several years worth of things that need to be done to this house. I didn't really realize how right I was until I started making a TODO list of things per room that I need to get done.

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.
