Many projects to go
Adapted from a comment made elsewhere...
Many fix it projects to do around the house...
The lights don't work above our stove, and replacing the bulb doesn't help--the new bulb burns out in short order. I think perhaps there's a short. I need to take the whole thing apart.
One of the feet broke off on the old drop leaf extendible table we use in the dining room, and the whole thing cants to one side. To fix it we have to a) clear off the table, b) flip over the table and c) sit someplace else for a few days. Maybe this week. It's been broken for months. Oh, and maybe build a replacement foot. Should we be oiling our wood table frames to keep them from drying out?
I hope our keyless entry system on the garage isn't broken, but the battery died and when B replaced it the password no longer worked. I think it may need to be resynced with the main unit, but that requires getting up on a stepstool with Brian's car out of the garage, and usually when that is true Brian isn't here and ever since I fell and took the skin off my knee I'm afraid of falling again when I'm all alone. Just have to plan to do it.
The door also fell off of one of our cabinets--one side of an old buffet. It's the side that holds tea and gets more use than any other part, especially now that the kiddo has taken an interest in tea. The screws pulled right out of the soft wood, that held the hinges on. B bought some replacement screws but we need to rebuild the wood, perhaps with wood putty? I'm not sure that'll hold.
The nice sturdy chairs we bought in Albuquerque are rickety now and the corner joins have crosspiece inside the corner that look to need replacing. B thinks he can maybe make replacements.
The whole garden area needs the two different layers of wire fencing pulled out, ivy and other weeds removed, compost spread and turned under, and the edge and fence rebuilt. This is in conjunction with releveling the flagstone path just uphill from it, which was under cut by water runoff while the gutters were broken that we got fixed just this past November.
Anyway, you get the idea.
And that's not even including the sewing pile!
