Burnout!

We're moving into our house on Tuesday (postponed from Saturday because the countertop guys are still not ready to install…in fact, I think we'll be living there for a few days with no countertop, and worse, no kitchen sink. (I just remembered that a huge percentage of the world's population doesn't have access to clean water and I'm complaining about a few days of washing dishes on the deck. Sorry.)

We are burned out! Every project feels impossible so we keep delaying. Latest thing: we don't have interior doors on most of the rooms yet because we didn't realize how dumb it is to buy door slabs instead of pre hung. Mortising hinges?! What the heck?! Hopefully later this week.

Here are some things that did happen.

The rest of the floors are in!


Carpet installed in the bedrooms!

Bathrooms grouted and sealed! Toilets purchased!

Somehow, we're going to make it.

  1. So much work! It looks great. I remember a point of hating my new house because it took all my time and money. I finally got over that just a bit ago. I think you guys are going to love your place.

  2. The floors all look great! And I'm sure the kids love the rooms without furniture. Mine were sad when they couldn't run around as much because of all the stuff in the rooms. :)
    You are making progress! I'm sorry it has been long and frustrating.
