Our House "To Do" List (& would like to do)

So a long while back, I made a house "to do" list. I wrote down a bunch of the things the Mr. and I needed to do and some things that we would like to do. I also broke them down into price categories: cheap, modest, and expensive because that's how I roll I figured it would help us prioritize things correctly. Things in progress are highlighted. Things already done are in red and are crossed out. Anything in black is left to do. So, without further ado, here is the list:
