Projects for the weekend of 5/9

1. Mow lawn - Done
2. Spray lawn for dandelions. - I bought the stuff but haven't sprayed yet. When I mowed on Friday, I cut all the dandelions, so they're hard to see. I'll give them a few more days to enjoy life, then I'm giving them a dirt nap... (puts on sunglasses) one they're not going to like (YEAAAAHHHH!).
3. Cycle GFCI outlets. - Done
4. Replace furnace air filters. - Done
5. Find out if we have a water softener, and add salt if we do. - Apparently we don't. I guess it's because we have city water that doesn't cause mineral buildup?
6. Meet with stair baluster guy to pick those out. - They weren't available.
7. Have electrician install electrical boxes for powder room sconces, install kitchen light, and finish wiring butlers pantry. - Done, but we need to find the light bulbs for the new one in the kitchen. They're apprently little candle bulbs.
8. Put finish coat(s) on register covers and wood panels for our beverage fridges (butler's pantry). - I didn't get to this project this weekend.
9. Install and paint baseboards behind kitchen fridge. - I didn't get to this project this weekend.
10. Install as much flooring as possible (we only have the dining room, the foyer, and living room remaining). - I made a lot of progress with the floors this weekend. I have only about 250 sqft left in the dining room, foyer, and living room. Jen's uncle Carl came by this Saturday to help and learn the ropes. My proudest moment in working on the floors was rejoining the floors in the dining room and the foyer. They were separated by a closed, and I was worried that they wouldn't match up very well. I was having nightmares about a big gap in the floors in our foyer, but they came together really well. Right now, I'm halfway through the part of the floor that goes by our stairwell. That's really the last hard part because there are some curved pieces. Once that's done, I'm in the homestretch. My goal is to have them done by the time my mom gets here for the baby shower. That's in 2 weekends, so I have to work on weekdays and probably all of next weekend. I think I'm going to make it!
