    NO!! We're still decorating inside and playing 'catch up' in the garden. By the time we're done it'll be next summer. :rolleyes:

    I am not making plans anymore!! We had planned to build a shed out back for me and had bought the footings the week before I got sick. Maybe we can get it done next late winter/early spring.

    I had list a mile long. Either $$$$ or old age got us behind. You think something going to cost one price. Like the paint-double.

    Depends on how you define "done". Seems I have one project almost completed and I change the criteria for the project. Things are always just evolving. If I'd quit thinking up things to do maybe something would get finished....not going to happen.

    I don't make any "to do" lists for the summer. I just know I won't be getting them done while I am still doing farmers markets. I would like to get the new barn painted this Fall, but I don't know if we'll have the weather to do it once I am done this week with my last market.

    Well I try and make a do list every year. Some DH agree with some. Wanted to get Plastic type of panels-but $800 + install for 4 panels. But new garage doors and big garden-turned out to be home for DH hommer pigeons.

    Actually, yes! I had 2 projects planned. Creating my woodland garden and turning the side yard into a butterfly garden. Well, the garden part hasnt happened, thats my plan for next year, but the whole area is one giant bed now :D The woodland garden needs more plants, but that'll also happen next year. This year I just never had the funds for plants :(

    I guess so, only had the deck to stain. Surprisingly we actually did it. Was hoping to start the bathroom, but money is delaying that...hopefully not indefinitely.

    95% of the fence is done. And can say Blue house with white fence. When people ask where we live. Dh says ((No))) inside projects. Think I should show them basement windows in garage.
