The Cape 18 To Do List

I took a good look around dear Cape 18 yesterday and thought, "Holy Monkey, this place is a train wreck." (Only I didn't say "monkey" or "train wreck" at the time.)

Does your house ever get away from you? I just looked away for a second and suddenly it looks like a hot mess and a half.

So, let's get this show on the road with a To Do list. Because lets face it, nothing gives the illusion of progress than making a list.
