When I started my latest blog, I set my goal of having a clean(ish) house within 6 weeks, which coincidently would be right around Halloween.
My goals are:
Remove as much rubbish as I can. Remove destroyed/ unwanted furniture. Rid house of pests.
Reclaim functionality of every room.
27 days and 6 zones. I got this! I think

The weather has been gorgeous and I've mostly concentrated on the outside projects plus some others
Goal 1 - DONE - Paint the new to me antique iron fence, mailbox & mailbox post Goal 2 - 70% - Clean/Organize Sewing/Laundry Room so I can walk in, sit down & sew Goal 3 - DONE - Paint the outside of the 'Kitchen House' at the farm, white with red trim Goal 4 - 75% - Paint the plank fence white that GF took down at home & moved to farm behind 'Kitchen House', paint the round wooden balls red that go on top of the fence posts and a 'top hat' white that GF build to go on top of the gate post to hold a solar light. TO DO: 1/2 of back of plank fence
During all this painting I also painted two more large metal wheels and an iron gate that have been installed 2 years on the other side of my yard, and started painting some wrought iron fence that GF installed to define our 'someday patio'. Other painting that has been done at the farm included two 6'x6' barn doors that GF built in April and the cabinets in the 'kitchen house' (free and 3rd hand that will look soooo much better clean and white)
I don't know if I will finish all this by Halloween or not, but I have done more lately than I ever thought possible. Thanks for this challenge!!!

Goal 4 - Paint the plank fence white that GF took down at home & moved to farm behind 'Kitchen House', paint the round wooden balls red that go on top of the fence posts and a 'top hat' white that GF build to go on top of the gate post to hold a solar light.
Solar light and red balls mounted on gate/fence posts.
I'm going to consider this 90% done since all that is left is half of the back side of the fence. It will be Friday or Saturday before the weather will be good enough for this.
Goal #2 - my sewing/laundry room. It's already a lot better and I will be working on this again today.

Purchased a child's toy hanging multiple mesh bin today for small leather scraps and unfinished projects. The mesh will give the leather air all around that will hopefully slow down the mildew. Supper is over, GF is working outside in the dark with a headlamp, so I'm going back to the sewing room to work for a little while.
