Re: So, what's on your "TO-DO" list right now in your home?
We're putting our house on the market in a few weeks, so the only real item left on the to do list is to organize and paint the basement.
If we end up not finding a buyer in this stinky real estate market, we will be finishing the basement next.

Re: So, what's on your "TO-DO" list right now in your home?
- a lot of gardening this year. we have a blank slate, so we have a lot to do.
- powerwash the house
- paint the shed
- spring clean up before we start the gardening
- slate patio
- then hopefully sit back and enjoy the rest of the summer, if we have any time left.  the list is longer, but we are trying to do what is in our budget.

Re: So, what's on your "TO-DO" list right now in your home?
This year is outdoor stuff: new driveway, walkways, front steps and back patio. We also have to have some of the sprinkler lines moved since the driveway and walkways will be wider than they are now. And I'm hoping we'll be able to have some landscaping done in the back.
Next year: Convert the spare room over our garage to a master suite. Then we'll have 4 BR/2.5 bath.
2010: Redo the family room and all of the hardwood floors throughout the house. Then we will have redone every room.
In the 4 years we've been here we have:
* Removed above ground pool
* Pulled down paneling in 5 rooms and fixed the walls
* Painted every room.
* New carpeting throughout.
* Updated kitchen
* Complete demo and rebuild of both bathrooms
* Regraded backyard
* New fence
* New landscaping in front, little bit on side and in back
* Installed sprinkler system
* New roof
* Replaced most of the windows
* Replaced all exterior doors
* Converted oil heat system to gas

Re: So, what's on your "TO-DO" list right now in your home?
This isn't our right now to do, but what we want to at least have done by the end of the year. We want to add another room and half bath onto the house. Due to all the building codes it can't be a bedroom so we're going to make it our office (which means the room wont have a closet) and the room that is currently our office will be an extra bedroom. The room that is our guest room is going to be the nursery.
We want to install the pool. We already know the builder we're going to go with. Once the room and half bath is done then we can start on construction for the pool.

Paint, paint, design, landscape...and paint!!! 
Our house is brand new, so we're essentially starting with a clean slate. The only room I've painted so far is our dining room!

Big time landscaping and patio. We are going to focus on the outside now that the weather is changing. There are plenty of indoor projects but those will wait for now.
