This post is likely to be gets edited every few days now and then. And added to, as I think about other rooms. And, gods help me, get things x'd out.

Aside: I have more lists. They are about art, and work, and some routine home/housekeeping things (recycling, finance management). But they are in RememberTheMilk, so I don't think I need retyping them. I do need to change my approach to finishing things, desperately. Yet my priorities are ... OK, I'm digressing and that really needs a different post anyway.

Added to: Oct 19th. Oct 20th, Oct 23, Nov 3 (stairs), Nov 14 (Our Room and Studio lists).
Progress noted: Oct 23, Nov 1, Nov 3, Nov 4 (paint, compost), Nov 6 (paint, shelves), Nov 14 (more about shelves), May 18 (back band)
