Projects for 2009

[time_on_fire]

I have several projects I'd like to complete in 2009. I'm not sure how much I'll get complete, but I'm gonna try.

• Pay off the rest of my credit card debt (deadline scheduled for August)
• Move  hay shed to block view of neighbors
• On hay shed, build a wood facade out of used fence boards
• Expand chicken housing area
• Plant bamboo/willow to block view of neighbors and keep neighbors dogs out of pasture
• Expand vegetable bed
• Level back pasture and raise floor in barn
• Finish tack room in barn
• Turn old shed into greenhouse
• Build spice rack cabinet
• Fix house roof
• Improve drainage around house, including run-off issue from neighbor

Many of these issues are due to strained relations with my neighbors, whom I call The Burners. They lie, cheat, and steal, and I have proof of all three. I've tried for a year to be diplomatic, but I can't do it anymore.

ETA: 10/09 - just an update, updates in red

• Pay off the rest of my credit card debt (deadline scheduled for August) (sadly extended to the end of the year?)
• Move  hay shed to block view of neighbors (done!)
• On hay shed, build a wood facade out of used fence boards (project scrapped)
• Expand chicken housing area (dog house coop built; still need run; still need to connect original run to the shed that is now next to it)
• Plant bamboo/willow to block view of neighbors and keep neighbors dogs out of pasture (project delayed; neighbors are moving, will they take the bright lights with them?)
• Expand vegetable bed (done - making it any larger will be too much for me to keep up)
• Level back pasture and raise floor in barn (back pasture finished, barn floor still too low)
• Finish tack room in barn (untouched)
• Turn old shed into greenhouse (untouched)
• Build spice rack cabinet (untouched, but I think I found a carpenter, just need the stained glass)
• Fix house roof (done!)
• Improve drainage around house, including run-off issue from neighbor (untouched)
