Any big projects planned for this spring?

I have a lot of painting to do. I filled holes today. Tomorrow, I will try to get the sanding done and start the painting. I was waiting for nicer weather, but it doesn't look like it's coming anytime soon. What are your big home improvement projects for the spring/summer? Since we rent, the paint is free. For some reason, the ceramic tiles in the bathroom and the kitchen are popping up, so I have been gluing them back down as I find them, too.

Apparently, no glue works on those tiles. They just keep popping up after they have been glued down. Dh says next to nothing bonds to ceramic tiles and it was just a poor job in the first place which is why they are popping up. At any rate, I still have to sand a wall in the kitchen, touch up the bathroom and repaint the girls' room. Today though, we are going to concentrate on clearing out a storage shed, because come he!! or high water, we splitting this popscile stand!

I plan to do a huge haul out of junk. I always manage to find some, lol. If I haven't used it, in a few months, I throw it out! CLothes, toys, etc.

Since there isn't a lot that I can do at my apartment, my focus and ideas have been for Chad's house. We've talked about painting and doing some work in the yard. Although it's unrealistic right now because his house is just too small for a combined family, I can't help but look at the house as possibly being my home some day
... That and I'm a sucker for an unfinished space.

Instead of building on to make a room for Logan, we are going to build on for Shane's "Man Cave" to put all of his stuffed animales and hunting gear in. We are also going to put in a drive way that will come down to the house, tear out the steps that lead to the driveway we have now and put down a new fake stone walkway. I also hope to put expand one of my flower beds also, but that will be prolly a last min thing.

Oh yeah! We will be repainting/remodeling Drew's room. I have most of the stuff, just need to find some material to make cutains.
