Ratri and Gu's House Stuff List

This is a general list of stuff we want, need, or will need, for our house. We haven't been careful about the order, and costs vary wildly. (We'll ultimately be using this as a checklist too, so we don't forget anything important).

Want

• A new grill brush (Wood handle?)
• A random orbital sander
• One of those Bose (or other good sound-quality brand) music players you can dock an iPod in
  • the bose is a little expensive
  • a battery-capable Altec with or without the radio capability
  • an HK that's a little bigger but also does battery mode
• A Wii
  • Wii Fit
  • Extra Wiimote and nunchuck
  • At least 1 classic controller
• A PS2
• An xbox 360 pro
• A set of free weighs (preferably 2.5lb increments up to about 30, not sure if we need to go higher)
• Exercise balls (55cm and 65cm...should be the two smaller of the normal three sizes.)
• Stands to hold the weighs and exercise balls
• One of those inch+ thick foldable mats
• A new toaster oven
• A Brita pitcher
• New bathmat set (the bathroom itself is white, but I don't know what color "stuff" I want yet)
• Gardening tools (trowel, mostly...my mom or Zahnnie would probably know what I need)
  • You will likely want a good set of gardening gloves that fit you well (so get them yourselves as opposed to as a gift preferably), a trowel, a um... what are those little three-tined hand-rake things called? (A garden fork -Morrigu) They are awesome. One of those, and a pair of garden snips, of similar size to the ones I inherited. (They're good for weeding and stuff.) If you will have shrubbery sized stuff to deal with you will eventually want a hedge trimmer. Some hedge trimmers have build in uber-snips right next to the pivot for maximum force. These are awesome. -Zahnnie 15:04, 24 June 2009 (EST)
• A surge suppressing PowerSquid
• Two very simple/small blond wood chairs to go at a small kitchen table
