Strikethrough means we have completed that goal.
Italics mean that goal is in progress.

I think we’re starting this in March 2010. In the mean time, I am FreeCycling and cleaning like crazy!

  2. purchase first floor accordion hurricane shutters and FreeCycle old manual shutters
  3. paint
  4. get new window shades and dressings for interior
  5. re-carpet stairs – maybe Berber?

  11. paint downstairs front bedroom
