What's the oldest item on your house to-do list?

I saw this question on FB tonight and it caught my attention.  My house is newly built, so the items on my list are not very old, but I can predict which ones will be on the list longest. In my case it's probably "paint the bedroom". Everything is white right now, an ugly primer colored white.  I'm hoping to paint the main living area before long, but I suspect the bedroom will have to wait a good while.

 

So, what's the oldest item on your to-do list?

I can't seem to let my to-do lists linger. I think I am caught up at present.

OMG.  The house is 32 years old.  Where do I begin?

Interior painting mostly. Then the flooring. If I could get those done I'd be very happy. But I'm lazy about having to move all the stuff to even start. Living alone and being disabled makes it less motivating.

New flooring is the WORST renovation of all! We did it several years ago in my last house. It was just like moving out and moving back in.. an awful task. I can certainly see why you're reluctant to do it.

Remove our deck and replace with trek decking in the spring I hope.

Replace front door is on a to do list that I wrote in 2011.  I swear I'm replacing that door this year!  LOL.

Garage doors.  DH thinks the old ones are "fine" but I cry baloney. $$$ here we come
