    Depends how many levels of recursion you’re interested in.

    The most immediate project is to rewire all the ceiling lighting in the basement, to get it all on one circuit, while also eliminating a few dim spots and swapping some old flourescent fixtures for some nice dimmable LED panels I got on a sale, for the area that we eventually wanna turn into an entertainment center. I’ve got all the supplies ready, but I keep getting sidetracked by lawn work and issues with the car.

    THAT whole project is in service of tearing down and rebuilding the drywall facade walls in the basement, and being able to have working lighting available for that project.

    THAT project is in service of finishing waterpoofing the basement after we had a gutter and sump system professionally installed last fall. That eliminated all the issues we had with water seeping up from under the foundation, but there’s still a very small amount that leaks in from over the TOP of the foundation, when there’s heavy-enough rain. For that, we need to rip out the remainder of the walls, which were partially ripped out to install the gutter, and put up a liner directly on the foundation walls that will redirect all water down into the gutter.

    THEN we can replace the carpet that we had to rip out after the record-setting rain storm we had last summer that soaked the entire basement.

    THEN we can move everything in the garage back intonthe basement.

    THEN I can being working on the car that grenaded itself when it threw a timing chain.

    Also, does buying a new car count? Cause that was our entire 3-day weekend.
