Projects for this weekend

Here's my home improvement list for the weekend.

1. Fix the creak in our upstairs hallway. Now that I have the carpet all pulled up, I'm hoping this is as simple as driving a few drywall screws into a floor joist. Update: The floor looks like swiss cheese because I couldn't find the floor joist, but I eventually did and our floor is squeek-free.
2. Install the SWM8, and make sure it works for the fireplace TV. Then, hook up our other rooms, and verify that the TV in the master bedroom works. I'll have to buy a ladder to make this happen though. Update: This took me a while, but I eventually got it working. It ended up being easier than I thought, but I made a dumb mistake that made it take longer than it should. I went out and bought a ladder, a cable stripper, a few cable endings, a 50ft cable to connect the sattelite to the house's existing cabling, some wood screws, and caulk so our roof wouldn't leak. I hooked everything up, and of course it didn't work. I tried switching around the cable order and messed around with the sattelite box settings. Nothing. Then I started googling, reading about things like line amplifiers. I didn't want to mess with that. Then, I decided to check the connection on the box one more time, and I connected the cable to the wrong place. I'm glad it was something dumb like that. I got it all hooked in time to watch the Lions blow their lead. After I watched that, I went back up on the roof to screw down the swm8, and ended up getting caulk all over me. Oh, and the worst part of it all was the damn ladybugs. They were all over me when I was up on the ladder (it was like high-school all over again - yeah right), and would stay on me when I went into the house. Little jerks.
3. Prime the 3 upstairs rooms that have the ultra-bright paint. Update: I didn't do this yet. We have time to paint though.
4. Check on the uneven back yard to see if I can add more topsoil. Update: This is going to be an ongoing project because I don't want to kill the grass. I've been putting on about 1 1/2 bags every month or so.
5. Added: Put the ADT stickers on the windows. I had been procrastinating on this one, mainly because it meant I had to clean the windows.
6. Added: Put pads on the kitchen cabinets. I went out and bought about 100 silicon pads so our cabinet doors don't slam anymore.
7. Added: Reset the garage door code. We have one of those keypads on the outside of our garage so we can open the door without the opener. This was a classic "google" project. I eventually found the manual for the opener, hit the "learn" button, entered the new code, and held down "enter". The light blinked a few times indicating that it had been reset.

And one maintenance task:

1. Test the sump pump. Update: I just dumped two buckets full of water into the well, the pump went on, and away it went.
2. Added: I raked leaves from the two trees in our front yard.
