>Well, let's see, I pulled weeds to start off, a whole summer's worth of weeds. I got two small flower beds taken care of, and eventually will get the others. Ummm I trimmed bushes & trees so that the back yard doesn't look like a jungle anymore, and oh yeah, I mowed the yard. It's unbelievable what disrepair my outdoors and indoors fell into while I was away taking care of the dying.

> > Hmmm,,,,,floors, carpet is ruined. New bathroom tile and shower, replace the carpet throughout with either tile or hardwood, new paint, fixing the holes in the sheetrock of course, totally deep cleaning everything, and hopefully finishing the basement with a few walls for a bedroom and bathroom and living room.That should just about eat up the dough. However, I am having trouble getting motivated on that simply because the ones who got this house in the shape it's in are still living in it, and therefore I'm having trouble convincing myself it would be worth it to fix things. Mainly I want to do it because my home is all I have that is truely mine and the one thing that keeps me coming back everyday, and I want to be proud of it again, instead of dreading seeing it like it is now.
Lovely to chat with you...........hope you are doing well.Joan
