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…
Glad to hear I’m not the only one sick of looking at houses! My husband tries to preface each search by saying, “look at all the amazing projects we could do on this house”. Translation look at all the crap we never got done on our first 100 year old house that you are stuck in Washington trying to finish all by yourself… I don’t think it helps either that I just absolutely hate Colorado! Good luck in San Diego! Feel free to take a pit stop in Washington and join in on my madness! 🙂
I just went out again today and I am sooo sick of looking! The only good thing that has come of it taking so long is that my husband is more and more open to buying a total fixer upper! Although, I am pretty tired of working on big projects too. I just don’t know what to do.
