Homework update


This remodelling thing is a total pain in the neck. I do construction for a living and I swear, remodels are the worst. Give me factory, or a warehouse any day - don't care as long as the job starts with a bulldozer, a trackhoe and a hole in the ground. Add a little concrete and I'm a happy girl.


But no, we're living in a remodel. ugh.
I've been chipping away at the project and it's finally starting to feel like it might actually be getting done. Got the wood floor installed...



and I installed the cabinets and moved the plumbing over so the sink's in the right spot...





Also got the wiring re-done and new lights installed. It's nice having some lights and being able to see at night. And dimmers... I have a new appreciation for the magic of dimmers. Oh, and the venting's finally done so we have HEAT again - Finally!!! we can turn on the fireplace and get a little heat going in here. The roof's patched and now we're sheetrocking... amazing how a ceiling helps keep the heat in.




The last hurdle to jump is taking out the windows in the back wall and installing a picture window and a door to the deck we'll someday put out there.

You know, writing it all down in one place it actually does start to look like we're getting somewhere on this thing. Feels kinda good.

Looks great! Can't wait to see it in person.

Also, thanks for the narrated walks through canyons.
