Not for the faint of heart


We're remodeling our home.

Tia says that we're just redec-orating but I don't buy it. Sure, we've re-painted just about every room in the house in the last couple of months. Does new carpet count as redecorating? How 'bout DIY laminate floors?

Oh, and we ripped out the wall between the dining room and the living room. And the ceiling in the living room so, really, there's a new ceiling, too.

Is that remodeling or redecorating?

Whatever ... we're doing it, mostly ourselves. And, it looks like there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully, we'll finish up the dining room next weekend then all we'll have left is laying the floor int he dining room and kitchen and installing thresholds and quarter-round in, well, nearly all the rooms.

Still a lot of work, I know, but we can actually sweep the floor and expect it to stay moderately clean for more than an hour or so. Further, we're no longer living in a 24-hour construction zone.

And one day, if we're very, very good and very, very diligent, we'll actually finish.

You've both done sooo well! Amazingly, really! Before long you'll really need to post an update to this so everyone can see your success. And you do now have the most lovely living room ever. Rewards, Richard. REWARDS! You must remember the rewards!
