Happy Late Thanksgiving everyone!!!!
We as well as many others in the country got to go home and spend time with family and friends, it was a fun time. Also over the weekend we got to go Black Friday shopping. This was my first experience in about 7 years; It was a little crazy but not too bad, but it was a good opportunity to get some things for the house on sale prices. From what my inside source had to say about Lowes is that Black Friday is a really good day to buy appliances if needed.
After a barrage of phone calls and conversations that sound like “why haven’t you updated ur site thingy” we apologize to those of you gripping to hear what progress has happened on our home. After a week and a half of no updates surely something exciting has happened. Well plenty has happened and I am not sure I can put it all into here without writing a novel.
Well, after we got moved into the house, things got a little more difficult. Word of the wise, get as far as you can before moving in, it makes things easier to clean and keep clean. Sheet-rocking alone makes a mess of dust if you don’t have a vacuum sucking it up. As all of you know, we had tidbits of things to finish in all areas, Wiring, Plumbing, hardware, Sheetrock. ETC. Also outlets to be replaced and covers still need to be put on most switches in the house. As we have been living in it, we have been taking on unfinished tasks one by one to get them done. The best way we found to be able to get things done is to each time you have free time, pick 1 ONE 1 ONE 1 task and work on that, don’t make a list of things you want to do each night, just pick ONE and do it. We find that this is the way to do it and continue to click along down the list of leftovers.
Odds and ends:
Mystery light switch (a often seen sight in older re-rewired houses) If we knew what it was to we would use it....ha ha ha
The last of our sheet-rocking upstairs and the “I’m going to get to it” hole that is still there
And the dishwasher that doesn’t JUST fit. Work in Progress
The basement… looming and waiting…. And no matter how many times I clean & organize… still a mess…..soon we will begin on that project. Only once upstairs is done, I don't want a house full of half projects.
More Basement mess..& the Laundry room
As said before, the Basement Is just our holding cell for all of our excess materials. we do have plies organized as to where they will go, the bathroom (to be) has all of the bathroom things in it. and the laundry room has shelves... they are just sitting on the floor.
Now that we are back we can hop back to it
