Week One/Introduction/Before/Etc.

It's been great to see everyone's early Cure posts and planning. I do plan to post before shots, but first my schedule will have to line up with adequate lighting. I've changed some things since the last round and do have a few things planned for this one that might be interesting to look at. I also have a tripod now, so I should be able to get better shots. In the mean time, here's my plan:

• Follow the Deep Treatment plan, where not superfluous. That is, I don't need to revisit my choice of cleaning products, nor to buy another water filter. I do need to mop.
  
  
• Repairs. I've already confirmed that there aren't any big ones that need extensive planning or outside help, so I'll just deal with them each week, room by room.
  
  
• Side project: Curtains. I've already purchased rods for all four windows, have materials for making some of them, and have the others picked out. They should all be up by the end of this.
  
  
• Side project: Boxes. There are boxes in my spare room. I refuse to say that it's full of boxes (it's not! Really!). But it does contain boxes. Not boxes that were never unpacked from the move (though there might be a couple of those). But boxes. Some are empty. Some contain things that need to find a permanent home. Some I don't know how to describe. So: in addition to the Deep Treatment tasks, I will fully remedy one box per week.
  

The Rules:

• Put everything away.
  
  
• Only put things away in their permanent homes.
  
  
• Stick to the Cure Budget (which was chosen for 25% financial reasons and 75% to place a limit on the number of decisions that can be made Right Now). May be compromised in cases of extreme Furniture Karma.
  
  
• Report back here weekly.
  
  
• Tell the truth.
