Wait - what did I do last year?

 Let's take a short gander down memory lane to 2020 - the year of eternal March.
There was (is) a pandemic, I didn't hardly drive at all (which is not like me), the times I was "social" where notable on my calendar, and there was an election no one can get away from, even now.

But what happened here?

• With Ian's help, the mudroom got tiled, studded and finished.
• The fridge and washer/dryer arrived
• I made the fancy coat racks and attached them to the walls with the power of annoyance and GRKs
• I ripped out weird shelves/chimney surrounds and patched and painted the back bedroom, (where I'm living for now.)
• I patched and painted the master bedroom, (where I hope to move soon.)
• I stripped, patched and painted the office.
• I got a bed for Windy's room, (not that she wanted one, but for other guests,) and actually set it up to look like a bedroom.
• I was sent home to work on March 13th for "A few weeks". (I don't know what "going back" looks like at this point.)
• Ian and Windy fixed the plaster in the upstairs hallway/stairwell. I painted it.
• I stripped out the old rug from the stairs and painted them
• I had the plumbing in the bathroom/mudroom redone.
• I put a new light fixture and new vanity in the bathroom.
• With the help of a lot of people, we discovered what the Mystery Pipe in the front yard was. (It was a bent up water shutoff valve.)
• Ian built me a beautiful clothesline that dries up to 4 loads at a time.
• My long suffering small engine guy dealt with the lawnmower for me.
• I had my friend Scott in to reconstruct the steps through the front wall.
• Ian put a beautiful new roof on the shed. I painted the windows.
• Because of the dumpster that was here for the roof, I cleaned up a badly overgrown area near the shed that had been used as a dump - Raked it out, grassed it over.
• I was able to put a few rocks back in the retaining wall near the shed. There's two big ones that still need to be put back though.
• I kept my job.
• I cut down and chipped up all the forcythia near the driveway.
• I planted some bulbs.
• I built some raised garden beds and grew a few veggies.
• I dug out, mulched over and back filled the big flower bed near the shed.

When I look at it this way.... I guess I did get a lot done.

Next post - What's on tap for this year? (Ohhh, exciting!)
