I've found that it's very helpful to have small, easy to finish little projects going at the same time as the bigger, more frustrating projects. It's satisfying to get at least something finished no matter how small it is. I have the door off for new hardware and refinishing.

Re: Small Projects
A friend is refinishing my salon door in his shop and installing the new mortise lock set. I love making progress that I don't have to physically do myself. It's like a bonus.

Re: Small Projects
Very true!! Nothing more satisfying than knocking stuff off the list! I also try to keep a 'rainy day' list of things that can be accomplished in foul weather in case I show up to work and mother nature has other plans. This way I don't even have to think, just go straight to the list and start picking off items.

Re: Small Projects
They all seem to start off as small projects, then turn into big projects. Taking out the trash is about the only one that I can count on to be done in a timely fashion...

Re: Small Projects
One at a time gives me satisfaction of completing a job. The big ones that takes weeks I get frustrated with. Love you see you guys restoring these old gals.

Pulled out the water filters a couple of weeks ago and found this. The up side is that this area will be beautiful when I'm done and that will be very satisfying.

Re: Small Projects
Kinda like this?
The before from the survey in 2015--leaking plumbing fitting left unaddressed for years, freshwater at least.
