103. Hang the big mirror by the front door.Okay, so this isn't a really earth-shattering item from The List, but it was a good one to knock out. We've had this mirror for a long time--at least as long as we've lived here, I think, which is just over a year now. But I never hung it up. The main reason (aside from simple laziness) was the need to not only find proper and secure mounting stuff for the wall, but that the mirror itself also needed special mounting pieces added to the back of it. But within the first week of starting The List, I decided this would be an easy one to do, even for a not-so-handy guy like myself. I mounted two brackets on the back with a screwdriver, which was a piece of cake because there was a nice, solid piece of wood on there, as if placed exactly for such a task. The other bonus was that there were two studs in the wall located pretty much exactly where we wanted the mirror to hang. So up it went. One item down, 150 to go.

We've had that mirror for years. It used to be in the dining room at the old house. We hung it horizontally instead of vertically then. =)
Riiiiiiight. See, I knew it looked familiar. =)
