Home improvements I need to do.
Created | Updated Oct 8, 2002
Long term
- Re-shingle the roof.
- Rebuild or replace windows.
- Motion detector back yard light?
Short term
- Caulk around top of tub. [price of caulk]
- Dig around basement walls so water drains away instead of towards basement. [free]
- Threshold strips for doorways between kitchen/living room and porch/living room. [$$$?]
- Two sets of curtain rods and curtains.
Need further research
- Should concrete floor be painted? Did previous owner leave enough vinyl flooring & tile to cover the basement floor?
- Decide whether the garage is worth repairing or too far gone.
- Upgrade the security system?
low priority, maybe someday
- "Quarter round" trim around living room floor.
