I’ve decided I can’t buy anymore stuff for my condo until I install the stuff I already bought. Last weekend I hung the full length mirror I bought for my closet door over a year ago. This weekend I hung three prints, three photo frames, and a magnetic whiteboard. I tried to install a shelf below the white board, but I forgot to subtract an inch from my measurements before calculating.
That makes two objects I need to re-do the screws for. I’m beginning to fear object that need two screws (with mollies) at exact distances apart. I can’t attach the bathroom cabinet I tried to install last week because the screws are about an eighth inch off. One side goes on, the other won’t. Gah! I bought a package of screws with anchors last night. I’ll have to redo the cabinet and shelf supports(Done!).
Here are some other things I must install/complete before I can buy new stuff for my home:
- Replace toilet seat
- Hang five glass cabinet doors
- Install wall bracket for my 40” LCD TV
Hang three paintings- Another shelf (Unknown destination. Probably in the office.)
- Prime and paint kitchen table
- Hire electrician to install microwave over stove
- Hire plumber to move gas pipe (stove won’t fit against wall)
- Hire plumber to replace main gate valve to condo (located in neighbor’s crawlspace)
- Replace kitchen faucet
Based on this list it could be winter again before I buy anything new. Unless something breaks. Or I could ride this wave of spring fever nest cleaning and get them all done by Independence Day.
Unrelated Note: I used my printer with my mac for the first time yesterday. It was effortless. I plugged in the USB cable and hit print. No drivers, no need to find the printer. Yippee!
Unrelated Note 2: I had my taxes done yesterday. Totally worth having someone do it for me. I’m getting a nice chunk of money back. Now I need to not spend it three times over before it shows up in my account. (Yes, I did wait until April 15 to do my taxes. Are you honestly surprised? Yeah, I thought not.)
I keep saying that I will not buy any new books until I've read the ones I own - HA!
