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…

  1. We took a break today because the sun was shining but as we got closer to the beach, it vanished. Julie and I huddled under towels while the girls dug a hole in the sand and incredibly, swam! Fair this weekend and then who knows what other fun will be had. 🙂

  2. This is looking great!! Can’t wait to see it finished!! 🙂

  4. Would you do that for, say, a cousin? Cause I have all sorts of vacation projects you could do, and Idaho is beautiful this time of year…

  5. You are absolutely amazing!!! I don’t know how you have so much energy! Just looking at this makes me tired. She is very lucky to have you for a sister! You are welcome to join my family anytime, seriously! And as for your idea about just buying a house that needs built ins- go for it!! Nothing wrong with taking a little break!

    You should get a chance to just enjoy the fruits of your labor. You work SO hard. And it is beautiful!
