Lists, and more lists

Christmas happened. Now we are ready to turn our attention more completely to the remodel. We continue to work our way through a forty-seven point to-do list called “Phase One – Plan, Clean, & Prep.”  It includes items such as, “weed all books,” “set up temporary kitchen in the basement,” and “consult with structural engineer.” The list also includes getting rid of furniture we no longer want or need. Does any one want a well-used and much-loved upright piano, or a single bed? Weeding our music collection is a tough one too. We have 78s RPM records, 33 & 1/3 LPs, audio cassettes, and CDs. Now that I play most of my music on my iPod touch sound system or with Pandora, do we need any of it? But we love all of it! Decisions, decisions, decisions!

We are also developing a gargantuan sequential list of all the tasks which make up the actual remodel. Its scary.
