Much Effort Expended
Actually, it has seemed like way too much effort to post for the past month or so. I have discovered (re-discovered) that I’m really a creature of habit and that I hate changes to my environment that are out of my control. My house is finally almost done, and I feel like I barely have the energy to unpack everything and place it all in its new place. But the remodel won’t be done until all the boxes are unpacked. The whole experience really hasn’t been all that bad, but it’s been emotionally wearing on me (see “creature of habit” above). Sigh.
The carpet is being laid as I type (yesterday and today), the tile is down, the kitchen is done, the master bath is done, all the lighting is installed, the rooms are rearranged. Still left to do is finishing work in the two guest baths: the back bath is waiting for the new countertop and sink to be delivered – once they arrive, it will be done in a couple of hours. The hall bath is awaiting the plumber to install the new toilet and faucet. Then, I need to paint the kitchen, front hall and back den. And then, finally, it will all be done. Whew.
Anyway, working from home today so the carpet guys can finish up, and I need to now do some actual work. I will be really, really glad when this is finished. I will also probably be much more enthusiastic about how fabulous it all looks. Because it does.

Congratulations! I look forward to seeing your progress firsthand sometime!

I don’t know when I’ll be able to see it firsthand, but seeing that home improvements have become such a large part of my life, I’d love to see pics. I’m certain professional work will blow me out of the water, but that means I can appreciate it even more in others.
