[Closed] Lockdown jobs you'd otherwise never get round to...

...but are quite looking forward to! Aside from the obvious tidying up the shed and doing the garden, I have a few that I look at regularly but know I'll never bother with, until now. First one, both my car and van have alloys with a diamond cut face. Car is now four years old and those little tiny chips in the laquer have blown out with salty water to create ever growing scabs. I figured I'd live with it for a couple more years and then get the wheels refurbed, or just not bother. I'm now quite looking to to removing a wheel at a time, peeling back the laquer, mini wire brush on the dremel, fine wet and dry, then a few layers of clear coat. Should be a satisfying job. [urlSecond one is to empty out the box of stuff I use every day of life at work. It's got gradually more jumbled with a mix of different sized bolts, thunderbolts, nails, screws washers etc. It's always going to be a bit jumbly as there's a load of just incase odds n ends in there, but it's going to be much better. [urlI'm hoping it'll shift me into a Zen state of some sort.

I need to be back at work as this is knackering me out:
All outside windows sanded, primed and painted - 16 in all
Whole gable end ivy stripped back and cut right down
Ivy removed from kitchen wall
All outdoor retaining walls repainted
Fences painted
All pictures put up inside
Halfway through epic railings repainting
I hate old houses.
