I’m just lucky that Chris specializes in ridiculously meticulous tasks like that!… and about 20 straight work hours later, we had a tiled wall!.
Or at least all those renovation shows that I love to watch on TV.You know how they always seem to be halfway through a big project on those shows and then one of them gets an idea for something they want to add, or do differently and everyone else groans because that idea will add on, like,.
of extra work time!And everyone on the show is walking around saying “Oh no!This is so annoying!
We’re sooo far behind now!” You know exactly what I mean.Well, I laugh in the face of their 3 more days!
Of course, in real life, when you’re working on a project and you get an idea to change something, no matter how small, it seems like it always adds on something like 3 more.
At least.. That was the case with these mouldings on our kitchen cabinets.I adjust to these things though and as soon as I start on a new DIY project, or see my kids outside playing soccer next to the cornfield, I forget all about those little things.. Perspective.
Remember that this isn’t just a house it’s an adventure, and one very few people get the chance to take.I do often find myself comparing my home to other new-build homes that I visit and feeling like we’re total failures for not being able to instantly get that fresh, new feeling happening in our old house.
I have to remind myself that we’re not just renovating a house, we’re living an adventure and it’s the kind of thing that builds amazing memories and creates a strong sense of identity for our family too.I can deal with some ugly walls for a few years for that!.
