my wife and i bought a house for the first time just about 2 years ago and we've done nothing but work on it since! (it was a bank repo) Here is the list as of todate: (these are all things we've done ourselef)

New roof
rewired the entire house and garage/shop
pulled carpet/refinished hardwood floors
painted house both inside and out
built fence around entire house/yard
installed new flooring in kitchen and dishwasher
built several pieces of furniture for the house
10 yards of new gravel for driveway
Some new plumbing under the house
And don't forget the yard work/landscapeing that is still going on (i have also replaced the axel on my wheelbarow)

For this summer:
Remodel the bathroom
finish a small fish pond/water garden
redo the deck

And in my spare time i've managed to start a 16 foot power dory for fishing the sound that is now about 1/2 way done.

I look forward to haveing the last of these projects finished and spend some quality time fishing this fall. laugh

So i can relate to everyone that has those projects that eat into that valuable fishing time!
