We jumped right into making our new house a home by checking off some little projects that needed to be done:

removed carpet downstairs to reduce my allergies to dogs and dust mites
installed a tie-out for the dogs until fencing can be completed
hung bird feeders to begin to understand who lives here
planted tulip bulbs, Lil's first part of her flower garden
installed a mailbox and post because the old ones were knocked over before we moved in
put together a cart to hold the mailbox and post and tools
assembled Twitter-found bed frame and stainless kitchen work table
re-installed smoke detectors (there were none!)

There are many more little and big projects to come:

Find the box with my socks - seriously, I've been washing and wearing the same three pairs for over a week
Fence a dog yard
Replace leaky kitchen faucet and maybe the sink while we're at it
Replace incandescent lightbulbs all over the place
Paint and furnish Lil's room per her specifications, a bribe we gave her to get through the moving stress
Replace dated hardware and fixtures
Finish removing carpet tack trips and staples, oh goodness hundreds of staples
Plant cuttings I took from plants at the old house
Plant orchard so trees can get established before the spring
Locate and begin a compost bin
Make kitchen more workable with shelving, maybe new cooktop?
Tons of tree work
Which will inevitably lead to installing a wood stove

Tomorrow I'll post something non-house related and a recipe post is coming soon.

What little (and big) projects are happening in your world?
