Trying to restore some semblance of order to my tumultuous brain workings, here.
Before May 12
-acquire dresser for rent-a-room Thanks Lyns!
-put together the flake's abandoned desk for rent-a-room, bed, etc.
-take apart heater connection for diagnosis Diagnosed as FUBAR.
-do something about the heater (reconnect, replace, or hire electrician, as needed) Call electrician; reborrow space heater from parents.
Before permit re-application PERMIT GET!
-stake out/paint/string rough landscape plan in front yard to be sure it'll work
-Driveway questions
-- research and decide on permeable pavement material (grasscrete, turfblock, etc) Turfblock is by far the simplest
--price out materials
--amend site plan
-Floor questions
--research requirements for leveling floor w cement
--price out materials and compare to current (wooden) plan
--amend plan or leave as-is
-Window questions Decided to leave plan as-is; may change later.
--sketch window differences
--cardboard mock-ups in garage?
--amend elevation drawing as needed
By June 1
- Clear out garage
--Cardboard to back yard for mulching
--post flake's shit (except for desk) on Craigslist
-- tools? Bike? Random crap?
-Make plan-of-attack list (i.e., what do we start with?)
-finish chapter one of sequel thing and send to beta
- paint on mail box
- write letter to tune composer for Pinniped Never mind.
Other upcoming house related
-Help neighbor remove & replace fence (determined by her schedule) Done!
-- set posts
-- install rails
-- install boards
- Mulch with woodchips when/if woodchips magically appear on my property (someone said he'd bring some but didn't say when)
- Front yard prep
--get Dad to bring builder's level to mark references for leveling front yard
-- dragoon housemate into holding ruler to mark height references
-- build up area near street with turf blocks
-- acquire fill dirt
-- root prune rhody
-finish weeding and adding soil to patio spaces
Once I get the permit re-application/amendment in, I should have about two weeks before I get a final answer. My parents (key to really starting this thing, since I'm relying on Dad's experience) are out of town until mid May, and I need a little time to dither, so I'm guessing actual work could start in early June, which means I need to be ready to start (garage clear) and have cleaned off my plate a bit (worked on, if not finished, the mail box, actually POSTED something on the story, etc).
I feel like I should be overwhelmed by this, but instead I'm rather chipper. It's possible the sane part of my brain is gibbering in a corner somewhere.
