The Sanders Family

I alluded to this topic on my goal page so I thought I would elaborate a bit. I don’t want it to seem like we don’t have follow through b/c hey– we are pretty stubborn people when you get right down to it. Its just some projects take an odd spin sometimes. For example, Paul disconnected the speakers when we had our floors put in. He has spent the equivalent of an entire weekend army crawling in and out of the crawl space under the house trying to run the wires…unsuccessfully. He talked to his friend Brian and has a new plan so we have a new angle to tackle it from. Those kind of things–anyone who owns a home knows what I am talking about! So here is the list of things that we need to complete before moving on to bigger and better (ok, just new and different) home improvement projects:

1. Finish wiring back speakers in living room. See above.
2. Change handles on Tyler’s dresser. My old dresser, they all broke off–not sure what the deal was there. It was fine, then we moved it and it was not fine. Kind of like the stroke of midnight for Cinderella. You would think this was an easy task–NO handles fit the current holes. We bought several kinds, then finally just took measurements to Lowe’s and I went through EVERY HANDLE THEY HAD. So we need to drill holes, but when we had time to do that, the drill was under the house where Paul left it one afternoon in disgust over project #1.
3. Susan’s mtn bike. Paul has been fixing it up for me for a year. Last thing is putting on new tires. FYI–sitting in a shed year round for about 8 years is not good for tires nor tubes. Who knew??
4. Paint touch ups. Amazing how many things you don’t see until the can is hammered closed and the brushes are clean.
5. Finish peg board and bike maintenance shelf. Paul thinks we are done. Little does he know how much more purging, I mean organizing we can do to his shelf! Muuuuaaaaahahhahahahahhahahahh!!!

So that is our lil list o’ fun. Does that make you feel any better for not getting a call back from us?

UPDATE 2.11.09: Paul did the handles last night, then Tyler vacuumed out the drawers. He is fired UP about chores! (Tyler, not Paul).  1 down, 4 to go!
