Tasks around the house you have been putting off

Removing excess slats from blinds so there aren't inches of slats stacked at the bottom.

Did that in my garage. Killed my back.

I haven’t cut the grass in 4 months. There’s leaves everywhere.

I replaced my thermostat and need to repaint the portion of the wall where my last one was.

Hiring a new lawn guy, cleaning up the leaves near the catch basin by the street

My boys’ bedroom needs to be painted, too - I’ve waited so long the two older boys are old enough to do it themselves

Actually have had a list of these types of things for a while. We moved into a new place last year and frankly after we got the place comfortable I got lazy.

In the last few weeks I have:

Built a console table from scratch (not a carpenter, did my best)
Mounted the TV
Installed some floating shelves
Ordered/put together a new bedframe
Installed Nest thermostat
Put together shelving for master bathroom

Still to do is a list of things too long for me to even think about right now, but I know painting is in my near future.

My whole kitchen I want to redo. New counters and cabinets and appliances. For sure I want a new fridge/microwave/dishwasher. The oven/stove I'm debating about keeping because it's an old mechanical one and call me old school but I prefer mechanical to digital, they tend to last longer and have less/easier to fix minor issues.

Rest of the house is fine. There's a couple of nicks in the drywall in the bedrooms that I've never gotten around to fix mostly because they aren't big enough to really bother me.

I do think I need new ducts, the last check up I had a couple of months ago the dude said that duct work has been recalled since the 00s but it's never given me trouble since I moved here so I'm letting it ride

Raking leaves & touching up the caulk/plaster cracks in my crown, baseboards & door trim.

Also, reorganize my attic. Everything is now piled up on the landing when I first step in because I didn't feel like bringing it back over the areas without decking. Also, finishing the decking in the attic.
