Summer 2014 projects

This is list I wrote on June 4 I think. : )
Many of these tasks have been on a list for a long time.
Highlighted/crossed out items are ones accomplished ... some will get moved to new list, hopefully not many!
Highlighted items are in progress ... not quite completed! Close, but no cigar. : )

• hang rod & curtain in doorway of Tara's office
• contact company re: garage renovation (now has become basement project)
• Julia ride Bike (independently, even with training wheels)
• Jacqueline potty trained
• Julia write comic (something she & Jai were doing together) - I really don't know re: its status
• Get additional needed camping gear & supplies (go to Friedman's, yard sales, Amazon)
• organize & clean (basement, garage, Jai's office, Tara's office) - Jai did office while we were in NC
• Go to Y outdoor pool often - duh, like this wouldn't happen!
• Get "new" lawn mower (pawn shop, Goodwill, FreeCycle before purchase @ Home Depot)
• Get picnic table - Julia & Jai DIY project, very colorfully painted!
• BUGS - find solution (company we'd hired for 2 years wasn't doing it!) - hired new company, better
• Fix basement door knob & handle
• Fix cot (been in Tara's office for years, Julia broke it after we'd had it for a week!)
• Fix back door handle - this was recent addition, but really concerned re: personal & house safety)
• piano tuned, lessons for Julia
