A year ago I posted House Wants/Needs List, and I thought it would be appropriate to update that list this morning. We were so blessed this year to be able to cross several items off the list.
House Needs/Wants --August 23, 2009
1) roof--repaired but not replaced. still desperately needed. this is the first thing that will be taken care of with any extra money this year.
2) garage door--second to roof. but considering most people in the world do not have a garage, who am i to complain about a beast of a door that is about to fall off the ceiling? :)
3) Simone mattress & bed frame--frame received from Cassie 9/18/09 and mattress was purchased shortly after
4) girls' closet doors--closet doors on but still don't have handles, so they pretty much just stay open. one thing at a time.
5) basement carpet and padding for toyroom/future girls' bedroom--march '10 basement bedroom for girls complete!
6) refrigerator--just purchased for HALF price! it was an amazing deal. and for those of you who were aware of my dilemma...i did go with offwhite and LOVE it. i feel like a chef with such a huge refrigerator. however the kids were sooooo excited to get ice and water from the door, and we discovered that we don't have a water line that runs to the frig. bummer. but, oh well. we are blessed, nonetheless.
7) toilet seat--bought dec '09. yessssss...
8) kitchen stools--awesome deal on sturdy sturdy stools. purchased from scot's boss. jan '10
9) ceiling fan for bedroom--i can't even remember why this is on the list. i guess b/c our current fan makes noise and dustin is constanting getting out of bed to mess with it. the solution has been to just keep it off.
10) sliding glass door with screen for dining room--nope. maybe sometime in the future.
11) screen for front window--no again. windows haven't been open as much due to reuben's allergies.
12) locks for all doors--dec '09 bought lock for one door
13) vacuum--mother took pity on us and let us have poppops old one. as much as i use my vacuum i am sad to think that this one won't last long either. i helped poppop pick it out. so i'm trying to take really good care of it and have not been vacuuming as much.
14) futon frame--still looking. in the meantime, the kids just sit on the futon mattress while they watch movies in the basement
And for this year's list...

1. New Roof
2. Garage door repaired or replaced
