AN UPDATED TASK LIST TO RING IN THE NEW YEAR…
Happy New Year everyone!
There’s no better way to start a fresh year then by checking off what you have accomplished the prior year and figuring out where the heck you are headed in the upcoming one. (Well that, and maybe paying off those pesky holiday bills

)
So here it is. You'll notice I've added a whole new section for the roll-up door covers which will be started after I wrap up the loft. I got a lot done in the last couple months of 2012 with an abundance of vacation being used, but I suspect things will slow down a bit in the first part of 2013 as I get back into my more normal routine (think snail-like pace

).
