State of the carriage house

I just took a spin around the carriage house and listed everything I thought needed done.

Interior:

Upstairs and stairwell:

• Door trim - Bondo, caulk, paint
• Paint door, some caulk needed
• Remount banister, paint
• Paint stairs and entry door
• Quarter-round next to stairs

• Trim window, paint upstairs window
• Mortar at base on SW
• S wall - mortar, caulk, paint
• Finish patching of sill of SW window
• Drive: concrete patch, paint
• Dig small drainage pipe for (new!) gutter downspout

I figure that's, what? Two or three days' work?

Seriously, though, I'm going to get as far as I can on this between June 22nd and July 1, when I'll have the place entirely to myself. Then I can put tarps down, move furniture into other rooms, and so on. I'm going to do some of the more cosmetic work during this time; bigger items probably won't get addressed at all (although the remainder of the summer is supposed to be House Time, too).

I don't even have the heart to post a similar list for the big house - but if that list were actually completed, I'd have a fully renovated carriage house on my hands, and it is doable. It truly doesn't need more than this right now - oh, sure, there are things that would be nice if I wanted to sink more money and time into them. But they're not necessary.
