The List

The notebook in which I wrote down what needs to be done in the house is getting a little beat-up, so I thought it might be helpful to type it out here. Plus then I can double check what needs to be done/bought, sizes, etc., even if I don't have the notebook with me. This is unprioritized and ranks from vital to purely cosmetic. All of the windows need window treatments, so if there's just a measurement, that's why. Measurements are width x height unless otherwise noted.
