Alright, so that's it for the list. At this point we're about 38% finished doing everything we want to the house. 28% more than last year, which doesn't seem like a lot, but then I think - we finished 2 full rooms and the backyard is ALMOST finished. That's a lot for a year, right? Sort of? I'm going with yes because after completing the master bedroom in 6 weeks, it feels like we've done a whole lot and after looking back on all the work in the backyard, that almost feels like enough for one year!Do you make lists like this to keep yourself accountable/on track? I'm finding this to be one of the most helpful things ever!
