My Ambitious To-Do List for 2012! (and 2013?)

I have decided to be a bit ambitious this year with our house-hold to-do list (after you read the list you may say it's more than 'a bit' ambitious). Why this year you might ask? Well, for a few reasons:
- almost everyone we know is now married so no more having to budget for weddings/ travel/ wedding events/ etc. We love all of you and are super excited to have been a part of all of your special days!
- I'm tired of looking at incomplete to-do lists from when we bought the house in 2010 and would like to get things completed, cleaned up and cleared out!
- One of my old friends and blogger (http://kristinandkrister.com) Kristin is doing a 30-day 'get out of my house challenge' on her blog and it has inspired me like WHOA!

So without further ado, here is my list, big and small, projects for 2012!

change 2 lights in dining room to 1 chandy (chandy already purchased)
repair ceiling after lighting change
seal metal bar supports and possibly re-level kitchen bar
re-cover seats on all dining room chairs
