Fun idea!
Linoleum instead of the awful synthetic wall to wall in this place, and a couple decent looking rugs.
Energy efficient washer.
Instant hot water heater and the electrician to install it.
Fruit and nut trees and lots and lots of garden seeds, and one of those toolrack holders, and some coldframes, new trowels, good wheelbarrow.
New front stairs and small deck with handrails.
Small sunroom for some solar heat/wind buffer in winter. It can even be used shower door glass, but I need someone to help build it. Or a smaller size greenhouse or hoop house, not one of those thirty footers.
If I'm not over pretend budget yet, definitely energy efficient refrigerater. And maybe some travel?
And new loafers/clogs/sandals. Three new pair of jeans, different weight fabric, a pretty ruffled blouse, good flannel ruffled longsleeved shirt, all brand spanking new!
A good whiskey, blackberry leaf tea and gunpowder tea and Luzianne coffee and a trip to Trader Joe's and some Australian black licorice, and Dove chocolate and a couple steaks and good rump roast and ice cream to go in the freezer of that new refrigerator.
Or how about a lute or lap harp and instruction video and replacement strings?
Spending spree at good bookstore or Amazon, and some new CDs and some classic DVD or VCR movies and foreign films that the library doesn't have.
Oops--forgot the pets. Couple new toys for them, too. Maybe a wading pool for the ducks and dogs (they can take turns using it)?
New charcoal pencils and paper. Acryllic or oil or watercolor paints and paper, and adult sized easel instead of the little kid one I've been squatting down to use?
Competent handyman and supplies to fix the storage shed and camper, and new window screens for my place instead of my tacking on govt. surplus screening.
This is fun! That updated H. Long/rich uncle certainly would boost the economy here.
