Yeah……still going!

Well, it’s been a couple of months and we are still at it.  It seems with every bit of progress that is made there is an equal and opposite setback…sometimes multiple ones.  Just the other day I was thinking, “Okay, now we are getting somewhere”  Then the water line burst.

All I can say is “Daggone!”  The little project has turned into a cancer that has now claimed 2/3 of my house, and is apparently headed outside.   I had to remove the plaster from the ceiling of my dining room to allow for access to the plumbing for the bathroom.  This time I wore 2 surgical masks and they were no match for 90 year old dust!  I also had to destroy the facing on my porch to allow access to the area to be steam shoveled.  Apparently, I’ll have to sod my lawn…again.  Everyone says, “Just think how beautiful it will be when it’s done.”  I used to believe them…now I’m not sure.  For real though, there is some progress with the bathroom coming together nicely and the stripping of the trim is coming along.  I must say that furniture stripper and acetone fumes give you one heck of a headache!
