Nina,

Neither one of us is into housework, that is why we have professional people for the task...Like you we have a project (large development) that we started on 7 years ago, but was on hold due to complications of red tape etc.  Now, we heard it is going to be back!  A

Nina, it was so nice out yesterday, I clean my garage floor, cleaned the cars, sprayed the weeds and was so nice to be outdoors!   Great list for us to work on this month.

Will Hamm hi Will... somehow, I think your wife knows what needs to be done without any help from me. :) So you may still be working on a honey-do list for a week.

Grant Schneider hi Grant... so long as the April weather cooperates no one should have an excuse not to address most of the items on this list.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel hi Alexandra... I'm a big believer in calling in the professionals... they will always do a better job. Great news on your project... I know how that feels to wait for so long... I've had more than one client who took years to finally do something.

Joan Cox hi Joan... I think I'd still rather take my car to a car wash! :) We've had lovely weather since last week, but today it suddenly dropped down to 52 degrees even though it's sunny.

Nina, the outsides of the cars were still clean, it was the inside I was cleaning, the mats and dusting.

Joan Cox hi Joan... the car wash I go to (Auto Bell) does the inside of my car as well... much better than I ever could or take the time to do!

A home has no feelings or emotions. Things break and are in need of repair whether we like it or not.

Nina Hollander - These are good reminders. We need not be paralyzed by fear. Sometimes, doing the essential things we need to do is most senible thing to do.

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP hi Patricia... what I always remind my buyers, especially first-time buyers, is that a house is a "living/breathing" entity and needs care and maintenance. And that if they don't want to or can't do that maintenance themselves, they need to hire someone to do it for them.

Hi Nina Hollander - I love your list.  I saw the item about cleaning your toaster.  How many times do we think about doing that!  I like that one.

Morning Nina.

The one thing I hadn't thought of was cleaning the toaster, makes sense.

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® hi Sheri... I probably remember to clean my toaster two or three times a year by accident. I virtually never eat bread so I forget about my toaster.

Endre Barath, Jr. hi Endre... I manage to clean out my garage twice a year... and sometimes even more if the mood strikes me.

James Dray hi James, since I rarely eat bread and virtually never use the toaster I forget about it most of the time... but amazingly when it occurs to me to clean it, I'm always amazed at how much it needed it.
