Week 1 Task: List Needed Repairs
"Bones" Week 1 task: Identify repairs that need to be made, and plan a solution. My place is in pretty good shape, and the landpersons made a lot of repairs and general touch-ups just before I moved in, but I was surprised how many things I found to flag when I did a walk-through just now.
This is the sort of dreadfully banal stuff I should cringe over putting down in a blog, but I figure I might as well keep everything in one place. Again, completed items in red.
Living Room/General
- Install peepholes. Call landpersons.
- Repair hole in living room wall (used by Mr. Angry to run cable to the bedroom). Visit hardware store for supplies.
- Tighten loose switchplates throughout.
- Replace lampshades on 2 lamps.
- Pin up cables and cords in living room. Need to rearrange the furniture first. May need a Radio Shack run for extra brackets.
Bedroom(s)
- Install pull chain on guest bedroom closet light.
- Replace bulbs in bedside lamps (current ones don't fit with new shades).
Bathroom
- Replace bottom toilet seal. Call landpersons.
- Replace linen closet door damaged by Mr. Angry. (Mr. Angry was the previous tenant, who aparently liked to punch and kick hollow-core interior doors. Several were replaced before I moved in, but they must have missed one.) Call landpersons.
- Get new drain cap for tub. Visit hardware store.
Kitchen
- Install hooks for pot holders near stove. Just do it. Actually, first need to find where mom hid the hooks I was going to use. A small price to pay for all the help with unpacking.
