Running out of reno runway

It's cold here in Southern Ontario tonight.  The thermometer in my car said 12 degrees Celsius tonight.  The leaves are changing colours.  Shoes and socks are a must for every day.  So is a jacket.  My golf game planned for Thursday may have to be moved as it's calling for weather that will barely break double digits up in Muskoka.  What does that mean?  Well, I'm running out of time for outdoor projects!  Let me list what I got done so far this year:

1. 

2. 

3. 

That's right.  Nothing.  Why?  Well, there's about a thousand reasons, and most of them have to do with an entire kitchen rip out/rebuild in Nobleton, and a whole-house "staging" (also known as "fluffing") project on the Danforth that have been ruthlessly monopolizing all my free time (after the toddler got his share) since April.  Okay, I might be overly dramatic, but it's true.  SO,  the list of "must-be-done-before-the-frosty-weather" list goes something like this:

1. Re-caulk the windows.

2. Replace the door on the shed.

3. Transplant the monster willow bush to the backyard.

And these are just what I consider the essentials.  The backyard makeover project that looks really good on paper complete with deck and play area has been officially relegated to "pipe dream" status for this year.  Anyone got any hot tips (read: want to volunteer their time) in the name of helping me get all this done before Thanksgiving? The Canadian edition, not the one right before Black Friday.  It's a job that won't pay well, but could earn you a return favour or two....
