Floor Plan and Our To-do list

I thought it would be fun to post the floor plan of our house so that the most-likely confusing descriptions I wrote in the before tour would be straightened out.

Keep in mind this is a ROUGH floor plan and I made it in Paint, so it's not very high-tech.

I also wanted to post our exhaustive to-do list of "we wish we could one day do all of this" things for the house:

Already done:
CLEAN
Patch cracks in walls
Paint EVERYTHING inside
Fix attic ladder
Clean gutters
Take out wall pantry and make into shelves
Get pan for water heater
Build closet around water heater
Trim countertop and/or furr out wall to make room for refrigerator
Cut off desk
Paint fireplace brick
Get flu cap for fireplace
Enclose "drive through window"
Insulate interior walls
Rework electrical
Take nasty wall cabinets out of bathrooms and laundry room
Replace cabinet in laundry room
Rip out nasty carpet and linoleum
Lay tile in kitchen and laundry room


To be done before we move in:
Install new appliances
Replace master bath shower surround
Level living/dining room floor
Trim hedges
Replace cabinet hardware
Replace some lights
Install mantel
Replace switchplates
Do something to kitchen counters
Replace faucets throughout
Install laminate wood in rest of the house


To be done one day:
Build mudroom bench in laundry room closet
Install recessed lighting
Enclose carport
Paint exterior brick (maybe tan or light gray)
Paint shutters, trim, and outer doors(front door red, shutters and other doors dark charcoal gray, and trim crisp white)
Build privacy fence around backyard
Build a desk where the old one was
Build built in shelving in play room


That's a HUGE list! And I know that there are a few things that I've left off for sure!

As of last night Brian has started installing the wood floors, and though the start was a little rough, it got better as he went, so he'll be working on it the next few days. Also, I'm sooo excited because my dad and I are going to Starkville Saturday to help Brian. So not only do I get to see my hubbie and my house that is newly painted, but I get to HELP!!!! I can't wait! I'll be sure to get some pics--maybe even some action shots. :)
