Still just getting worse (you know, before it gets better)
As usual, this project is dragging on and on. I keep finding more things to add. I have two completely different ideas for my “coat closet” and I have to make a decision before I can wire it and I have to wire it before I can drywall it… So I stopped drywalling for the time being!
I moved on to tearing out my patchwork of floor boards so I can patch it up. I don’t even know if this is going to work but I’ll give it a good try before I move on to plan B (which I will figure out on the fly).
I can’t move forward on the Formal Living room side of things either because the previous electrical wiring was run up through the floor so that means I have to cut a hole in my basement ceiling in order to access it so I can do the new wiring. (Not looking forward to breaking that news to the hubby who is already overjoyed about the mess.)
The only area that no longer looks scary is the little hallway which I finished drywalling before I halted on account of the “wiring situation”.
Thank goodness for “almost successful completions”, no matter how small, or I would be starting to feel a little overwhelmed right about now.
As it is, if I squint just right, so I don’t see anything to the right of the hallway, I’m feeling pretty good about my progress! But I can’t speak for Wes.
I agree with Kimberly! You have amazing skills and tenacity.
I feel for you. I always seem like I’m in a construction zone somewhere in our house. But you will get er done and it will be spectacular.
I’ve done the patchwork floor thing before when I removed a large heating grate. It worked great and no one could tell I replaced a bunch of the wood. But it took a lot of time and patience. Plus I had to refinish my entire house to get the perfect match with the finish. I’m sure your rooms will look beautiful when they’re all done. I’m very excited watching the work you’re doing to your home. It makes me want to get building too.
I am starting to wonder why you spent all of that time house hunting. You could have spent it hand building your house. lol Now that would be impressive!
maybe you should hang up a sheet and throw down a rug, so you (I mean Wes) don’t have to look at it….
You are rocking as usual! Can’t believe all the stupid things people do behind walls to mess up a perfectly good remodeling project!!
