Figuring out which chore to take on first was nervousing. There is so much that needs to be done – cleaning, repairs, organizing and eliminating – that it is overwhelming. I finally just dove in and began cleaning the two lockers in the rear conckpit. It was as good a place as any.
For the record, here's my list as it stands, broken into things that need to be done by professionals and by me. The items marked "in progress" mean that I have contacted someone to do the work, or I have made a start on it myself.Â
