At it again!
Last Thursday, on a whim, Maddie and I flew out to San Diego to help my sister get her house on the market. She’s in the place I was about four months ago in terms of 1000 projects to finish and feeling the stress!
Every time I talked to her for the last few weeks, her stress level seemed to be escalating and I needed a break from house hunting so I got last minute tickets Wednesday night and we left at 4 the next morning!
So, I’m at it again! It’s daunting but we’ll finish. We are making good progress and I’m realizing how much faster everything goes with two people working and I’m feeling envious of all you who have hubbies that help you out. Not that I’m complaining … I’m just rethinking the looking for another fixer upper! Do I really want to keep doing this forever?
The Brand New House which only needs built-ins is looking more and more appealing compared to the houses that need to be completely gutted! But I’m on “Vacation”. I’m not thinking about houses or remodeling at all…just as soon as we finish the rest of this work here!
Julie has done a ton of work on her house and it’s really nice. As soon as we’re done with all this work, I”ll give you a tour. “Till then…
Oooh, I love her chandy above her table.
But SAndra, I promise even if you get the brand new house that just needs built in…you will still be doing projects. Promise. Both of our houses were new or fairly new and I always have projects on my mind of what I want to do. But the nice thing is we don’t have to do them. The house is still nice with out them. So I say go for the newer house.
It’s great you are there helping her out. You guys have a lot of things going at once. Which is usually how I work too! Can’t wait to see more.
awesome! and yeah I feel you on the burnout. “new house that just needs creative built-ins” is more my ticket nowadays, too ! 😛
I am so excited to see the final project. What an awesome sister you are. I love the built in at the top of the stairs.
Can’t wait to see the final project. You really rock for helping out your sister. Really interested in what you’re going to do to the fireplace.
