After 3 straight weekends at the Lakehouse, I've managed to accomplish a lot. None of this was really on the agenda, but it got accomplished in good spirits anyway:
- Removed 2 of the 4 hornet/wasp nests on the property (need more spray)
- Cut down 99% of the "white trash weed hill/goose throne"
- Patched and skimcoated 1/2 of the dining room wall (and discovered a leak behind the other half, ugh)
- tore down part of the chair rail to remove wallpaper in the dining room and discovered that the scale of the chair rail is much brighter, more open without that piece
- removed the dangerous metal transition piece that jabbed at people's socks between the hall and dining room
- discovered umpteen leaks in the basement (now to find a way to get the plumber to call me back)
- installed new outdoor lighting along the driveway since the low-levels seem to have conked out
- installed the blue property line markers so that when the first snow hits, everyone will be able to tell what's yard and what's driveway
- weeded 1 regular sized and 1 humongously oversized plant beds
- transplanted my grandmother's memorial tree and other plants my mom gave me
