Our House

Oh what a weekend! At times I am so discouraged at our progress on the house. I always seem to underestimate the time it will take to finish ANY project. Like the doors on the cabinet in the stairwell. I thought it would take fifteen minutes, thirty at most, and it took three days! Three DAYS! My only hope is that the rest of it doesn’t take that long…It took over two hours to put the door in between the garage and the house in yesterday (looks fantastic by the way! My Hubby did a wonderful job cutting it and getting it to fit “just so”). It took three coats to get the window in the kitchen and the doorways in the kitchen painted…and then when I took the tape off in the pantry off came some of the tan paint, so now we have to go back and fix that! I’m just so discouraged right now…

I could look at it from the bright side…The kitchen is done with the exception of the baseboard! The cabinet in the stairwell is done! The door is IN! …But then I think of all we have left to do and I am just discouraged again…Paint the stairwell and basement, paint the baseboard in the basement, Paint the windows in our bedroom, put new linoleum and a vanity in the downstairs bathroom, put new carpet on the stairs, finish tiling the kitchen and the landing, paint the downstairs bathroom, put new doorknobs/deadbolts on the doors upstairs, clean up the outside, paint the trim on the exterior of the house, REMODEL the ENTIRE upstairs bathroom…lions and tigers and bears, oh my! I think we need to sit down and pick nights/days when we are going to do certain projects…that will help me focus on one thing at a time instead of ALL of it!
