2011 Home Renovation Master List

[greypaw]

So, I've just been looking over my list of things I'm going to try and get done on working on the house this Spring and I threw together a list in descending order of priority. Anything indented is a later consideration that will require the preceding item to be completed before it can be done. This list is loosey goosey so if something needs to be bumped up in priority we'll do it as needed, but I'm trying to kind of space out the workload and avoid working in unsafe temperatures as much as possible. Also, if anyone spots anything that's missing from the list let me know and I'll add it.
