To Do Lists

Mine is fucking enormous, and they are all big things as well, typically with a big price tag attached to it.

Fix the Flat roof - The stuff is sitting in the back garden ready to go, however its going to take a full day to do it. This weekend would be good, only on Sunday I'm doing the...

London 10K - which starts at an ungodly hour in the morning, meaning I'll need to be up super-early and get myself on the train. On the plus side afterwards we'll have a chance to trawl round London, and go a bit tourist. So instead of the roof I'll probably be...

Sorting out the front garden - which involves weeding, spraying areas with liquid death, and then piling about a metric tonne of sand and stone on it to quasi-patio it, and gravel the top bed. There is also a bit of brickwork that needs doing. Talking about gardens there is the...

Back garden - Which is currently a shit-hole. We spent this weekend clearing it out (and the loft), and managed to move 2 transit vans of crap to the tip. It needs something brutal doing to the lawn/dirt to get rid of the tree-weeds, and get it ready for turf. The ex-pond is now a large hole, and needs to be walled (probably blocks), rendered and patio-ed, as well as having some steps constructed down to it. The decking all needs to be cleaned and treated as well. The other big job is the...

Side Fence - Which is currently held up with rope after suffering a bit in the wind. It probably needs replacing, which will cost a bit, however first on the agenda is the...

Bathroom - Which basically needs ripping out and starting again. I've got some basic quotes, and its above my budget, so I'm going to need to take on some of the work myself...probably the tiling. I'll need professionals for the plumbing and electrics, however I can tile, help fit etc etc.

Not enough spare time!!!
