Turning this short sale into our home was going to be A LOT of work. It all seemed so overwhelming. So I did what this Type-A personality does best, I made a list. It looks completely neurotic, but once it was all down on paper, it all seemed a bit more manageable. We had a game plan, and we were going to tackle this house one project at a time.
So here it is by rooms, not at all in the order we plan to accomplish things. We're not naive enough to think that everything is going to go as planned, so there will be a lot of changes, and we definitely know this is going to take us a LONG time to finish. It's always nice to have a road map though.
(PS- We wrote this list before we moved in, so where we've decided not to do something I usedstrike through and where we added projects I just went in and added numbers.)
