I was just thinking of all the things I want to get done this summer, and I am determined to get a good portion of my list done if not all of it.... as I was posting in my wish list I was thinking of all the things I want to get done.
things like, I have to shampoo my carpets, paint my living room and kids room, finish the deck in the back yard and get my potted plants done out in the yard, clean out the garage and have a yard sale.
are there things you need to get done this summer?

I don't personally have any summer plans but I think the garage sale you mentioned is a good idea also for me.

What should I do for a garage sale? What are general good ideals around a house?

best thing to do is go through old things and make piles of things you no longer use/need, set up tables and either in your garage or in your front yard and make up signs for garage/yard sale and pick some days where you can sit out there for a couple hours a day.

started to get some work done in the back yard today, felt really good to make a difference and made some progress today -- I want it to be fun back yard for the kids and for the adults to just be able to sit out there and relax and enjoy. I got alot of the weeding done today, still more to do but got a good portion of it done today.

thanks froggi.... and yes, the weeds always come back unfortunately, LOL ...that is why I put off this project for over a year, an area I tried to make weed free didnt work I wanted to take out all the rocks I put in there -- got it done yesterday and all the weeds out again, now I have to come up with something else.

I did get my living room painted... we are basically at the point of being done, just a few touch ups and then I can start putting things back on the wall -- I love the color, went from a pale green to a warm mocha color, it looks awesome!!!!!!  |

I got some yard work done in the back today.... I think I may have solve the issue with behind my patio that may control the weeds and finally give it that finished look....I hope so!!
I am still waiting on the finishing touches for my living room... I am looking for a small desk for this room....then i will be ready to enjoy this room come fall/winter time.... I want to change out the carpet for hardwood but I dont know when that will be in the budget, right now everything has been $40.00 and under with all my projects.

I got my desk, and the best part it was for free --YAY-- since I cant change out my carpet I am going to add to my summer to do list to rent a shampooing machine and clean the carpets....that will hold me over.  |
