I'm tearing out the rec room the previous owners built in the basement. I'm sure it was really cool back in the 60's.
It pretty much divided up half the basement and just made things seem smaller, dingy, and musty IMO. I took the disgusting drop ceiling out about a year ago, and now almost done ripping out the paneling. I tear down just enough to make a trip to the dump in the mini van. This is a load about a month ago.
No cleaning, just field prep on my farm and planting oats, mowing, Cutting and debarking poplar trees for railings in my new home,or working on the home build for my dream home here.
That’s a big project!! I have tons of stuff I need to do, mostly on the yard. I’m filling up a ruined fish pond in my backyard with dirt, and planting flowers there. I’m filling my flower bed in front yard with decorative rocks, and planting more plants. Painting the walls over in my bathroom. Lots of projects, those are just a few
@Mardrae I'm not starting outdoor stuff until it warms up. The big thing is landscaping around the new garage and patio. I wish the builder would have left me some dirt they dug out for it.
The week of 70's and 80's was just a teaser to get the grass to grow, and now it needs cutting. It's rainy and about 40F right now. It was sleeting when I went to the dump.
Pretty much everything, but mainly the yard. Had to finally break down and hire a lawn-mowing service this year as my wife and I realized neither of us is well/strong enough to so the mowing ourselves any more.
@ChipmunkErnie Honestly, if I could afford it, I'd never cut the grass again. A service here wants $45 a cut. I have things planned for the yard, but I'm not putting that into a spring cleaning category. I guess the only thing was putting the snow thrower in the shed, and pulling out the rider.
@ChipmunkErnie Sorry about that. I'm curious to see if my neighbor across the street will still cut his own this year. He's not moving so well, and I had to help push his mower out of the culvert when it got stuck.

Going to do a few plantings in the front of the house, put another coat of stain on the deck and paint the foundation of the house
@MrEagle Good to have a decent workshop. Once I get the basement rec room demo done, the workshop is going to move into my garage and open up more space in the basement.
@BrewCityBarfly definitely. All my stuff now is so cluttered I have to bring things under the carport to do any work. I’ve seen some cool setups with other people’s shops. I just need to get to it.
@MrEagle I hear you. I packed a lot of stuff into a small workshop, and the workbench they left behind is old school massive. I kind of think it's funny considering how unhandy the previous owner was. My main stuff like the table saw, miter saw, and a new workbench will all be on mobile stands in the garage.
@exexec I'm not sure our local library takes used books, will need to check. I know there are storage bins from my last move with books in them. They were hastily packed just to get them out of the old place.
I painted part of the kitchen todayand declttered and reorganized 🙂 it looks great and is much more open and inviting now. Ill finish painting another day soon
@YoMomma I don't have the room to store, and some of them have moisture damage. I like to repurpose things whenever it's possible. I have a friend who is going to be taking the remaining 4x4's they used for framing.
@akindheart I opened a Poshmark account and sold some purses and clothes when we decided to pack our stuff , get the place ready for renovation before selling. I enjoyed the selling experience. Hehe
Since everyone knows Biden was not fairly elected. My target is A.I., and that is proving to be more of a militant than patriots like me. The world is screwd until the interwebs are free from gaagles monopoly.
@checkoutanytime Any current or former POTUS is welcome to come over if they want to help. Heck, it might be good for all of them to come down from their ivory tower and see what life is really like here in the trenches. I don't begrudge anyone who is willing to roll up their sleeves and pick up a claw bar.
@helenS I love wood floors. I scrubbed mine before moving in. I pretty much consider them "rustic" at this point, and the next scrubbing will be with a floor sander. 🙂
