A quick list to get done ASAP.
Reception is on Friday, Oct. 14- Pool cleaned and kept clean. We are having a big problem with this. Hunter says by Weds, Sep. 28, it will be clear. He is going to clean the filters Sep. 26. Now, they say there is a big problem with the plumbing but Jeremy is handling it. This may take all week. It's going to work. Sep 30 we will have a clean, sound running pool. Hunter promises by Oct. 1. Oct 1, still dirty. Oct. 3, we have no idea what the problem is or who is going to fix it.
- We need a new landscape plan using existing beds. This is something I should get on with so we can have Jose install week of Oct. 10. This includes pots and hanging troughs on patio. I am working with Gary on this. Goal is to pick everything up on Oct. 8. Oct. 3, Gary is out of town until the 10th. Looks like we were forgotten about. New plan needed.
- Deck Sealed. Marty says week of Oct. 10 is possible. He said to call on Oct. 3. Oct. 3, I have sent him a text pleading for him to do the job on Oct. 10. If this job is going to get done, it needs to be confirmed because a lot of other tasks are waiting on this one.
JOEY- Clean off shop patio. Still junked up to the max. Set everything in the yard by Daltons window. Oct. 2-3, I made some progress on this but Im a little overwhelmed.
- New chaise lounges put together. The old ones should be set out at the curb.
- Remove the TV cabinet from the living room, then put back in very neatly after the wall has been repaired. Do this after Oct. 2
JAMEY- Give the garage a light cleaning since Sharlette gave it a major cleaning a few weeks ago. Moved just a few things Sep. 25
- Cap on water control valve in back by wall. Need to measure it.
- Trim work finished on porch. It is finished, now just needs staining and a little brown paint. I may have to do this myself.
- Water valve box door. One for Jim, mine next to it has been replaced, and ours in front of the house needs replacing. Sep 26, Ashley says she's on it. Oct. 3, reminded her again.
- Use Roundup on the granite sidewalk and spot treat everywhere else.
- Louvre vent in front gable. I'm determined to paint this Gale Force blue. Vent Sep. 24. Paint soon after. It was installed Saturday, but it's not quite big enough to cover the existing hole. Do-over. They put a moulding around it which is ok enough, but beat up the gable with the ladder. I hope Daniel can solve this. Oct. 3, Daniel's team will be out Oct. 11
- Clean everything around the house, then trim and clean again. No fair moving stuff around. Clean it! I got the first round done Sunday, Sep. 25. But I knew it would need a second round.
- Get some more firewood and make a nice stack behind the slide
- Measure the windows for outside shutters
- Window treatments in back? Sharlette is going to take care of this. Oct. 3
- Electrical outlet in rock garden between pool and shop. We will plug the robot in there. Shannon said he needs to think about that.
- Stone surface repairs. Need to mark the bad places and see if there is any new stone work needed. Should be able to do this week of Oct. 3 because they will need to re-set the stone on the patio surface to accommodate new doors.
- Get someone to add more security cameras. I have contacted Anthony to help with this. Sep 23, I called him again. Oct. 3, Anthony bailed.
- Shutters on kitchen window in front, Daltons window and bathroom window. Gale Force blue. Maybe I can have this done with the help of Daniel, right after the windows are installed.
COMPLETED
- √ Clean the glass in the old Pavilion sconces.
- √ Clean out the shop so we can keep most of the furniture inside until the deck is sealed. Man, we need a General for this project (Mrs. B maybe). Yes, she said yes. Should be ready by Oct. 7. Mrs. B did this on Sept. 30 and she is probably the hero of the whole summer.
- √ Edge everything a couple of times and use some roundup. Mark should have the edger fixed Sep. 23 and I will edge all day Sep 24. Yes, it's looking much better. I'm going to give it another round Sep. 26 or 28
- √ Get some granular ant killer. Sep. 24
- √ Lighting on front porch. Not sure when they will be coming back. Done, Sep 29. We will also need some paint touch up there.
- √ We have to think of a name for what we are now calling "The Porch". Contenders are: Patio roof, overhang, canopy, awning, marquee, Made in The shade, Too Easy, Back Jack, Moon deck. Moon Roof is in the lead
- √ Gutters installed. All brown. Sep 19
- √ Hey, I did get the entire yard mowed, edged, trimmed and blown. It looks good, but I need a follow up real soon.
- √ Water faucet installed by the outside bathroom gate.
- √ All the sprinklers have been adjusted and timer programmed for every other day.
- √ Light bulbs in new fixtures. Bulbs will arrive Sep. 24. They did arrive BUT they are just slightly lighter than the original ones. BUT I found the other originals so we should have enough. I have sent the new ones back
- √ Clean the smoke off the wall behind the grill
- √ Yeah, the dirt pile by the street needs to be smoothed out. Joey still working on. Time consuming. And hard.
- √ Wash rugs: Blow them off, spot treat with SHOUT, scrub, then soap the entire rug with the Carpet Miracle and scrub, then power wash rinse. Then spray a light coat of Wet & Forget and dont rinse it off. Roll up when dry.
- √ Everything removed and Deck cleaned off. Joey has been on this. I worked on it some over the weekend. It sure is a lot of work to get everything removed. Still need to move some more tables. May have to move them over by the cow fence and leave them there for two weeks.
- Experiment with one or two grass areas to see if watering can revive the dead spots. Shop entrance in the back and front door to manhole cover in front. Yes, keeping it watered. And it looks like it may work. Oct. 3. It's going to take a lot of water to look good, but I can already see some improvement.
- Window box feature on garage window. Most likely Jeremy won't be able to get to this till Nov. 1
MAJOR RENOVATIONS- Prepare porch opening for new doors and windows. Two days before doors arrive. OCT 5-6
- Install new windows and door. Call Mark H. back Friday Sep 30 for timeframe. OCT 6-7
- Temporary new finished out wall inside back door. Sheetrock / paint until new design is carried out in 2023. OCT 10-11
- Floor in attic. K & O Oct. 10
