Front of house work list updated

Renovation / Work List (updated)

As a homeowner I'm always thinking of things that we need or want to do around the house.  I thought it would be a good idea to make a list here that we could look back on when we need to figure out our next step or see what we've accomplished.  This includes long term dreams for us so I don't think this list will be completed for MANY years.  I'll try to remember to come back and cross off projects as we finish them.
