Well, after not doing much in June, I went after the list again with a little (OK, a lot) more purpose. As soon as the humidity noticeably decreases, I can put in some time on the outdoor things, but my focus this month is to get the laundry room finished, and repainting my home office.
For whatever reason, August always seems to be a action-packed month, and this August will be no different.
