Planning for a Project

In planning for a project, there are dozens of things to consider. Here are 10 of the first dozen:

1. Timing (such as "Will this be finished before our anniversary?")
2. Cost: Which is where a budget is necessary and a plan that details all the ingredients and a signed contract that specifies the exact costs.
3. Materials: Where will they be stored until needed.
4. Home-life disruption, such as a closed kitchen, or unuseable bath or basement.
5. Dust!!!!!
6. Noise!!!!
7. Pets are generally dismayed.
8. That dumpster.
9. Or a pile of debris waiting for removal.
10. Questions: What color for the switch-plates? Base and door trim finish? Did you order the lights, plumbing fixtures, faucets, tile, door knobs, cabinet hardware, flooring, and what type of window?
