Baby steps!
If you aren't in construction (like me and most people) you have no idea how immense the internals of a home are. Between wiring, vents, ducting, air flow in the attic and so much more that my husband has told me about and I cannot for the life of me remember the names of, modern homes are more complicated than a MySpace relationship.
He chipped out the stucco around the window, so all we have to do is pop the old sucker out and pop a new one in! That's how easy windows are to do, right?
All walled in with attic access, whole house fan and a/c return.
I love my whole house fan! 😍
Work has been slow going because of illness and injury. Pat and I both working working opposite full time hours and just pure exhaustion. I've heard that a new home can be taxing on a relationship and for us there is just not enough time for connection with everything going on. We will pull through it like we have pulled through everything else. It's just HARD right now! I miss those relaxing quiet moments.
We decided that because all of the walls have lead paint underneath approximately 500 layers of latex paint, we are going to replace most if not all of the drywall in the house. We are always adding more work for ourselves. I joked to Pat that by the time we are done, this will be a brand new home and instead of laughing at the absurdity, he just agreed with me! Come on, guy.
Pat has really been prioritizing the bedrooms lately, so now that internal stuff is ready to go, we are getting Joshua's room done. The drywall and mud are done and now we just have to texture and paint!
And do base boards and replace the 50 year old window, and... There is most likely more. There is always more to do than what is on the to-do list.
Here are some more pictures of projects we have worked on that never got a blog post.
We have family coming to stay with us in a few weeks so everyone cross your fingers that we can get one bedroom finished for them! 🤞🤣
