Turning The Corner

“Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.”

Joseph Addison

After a 12 day hiatus,work on my family room has finally resumed.

The electric is being hooked up, the plumbing is being attended to and the sheet rock will get here later in the day.

Although pretty much still a huge mess, I am feeling like we are finally turning the corner heading towards a finished project.

Even more exciting is tat the contractor and I are on the same page (hopefully) as far as the little changes and adjustments that have popped up along the way.

My hopes are tat by the weekend, we will be stable enough to put the furniture back in place and finally have a chance to clean.

It has been weeks and everything just feels dirty.

My plan is to take a break before painting,even if it's just over the weekend to catch my breath.

That doesn't mean a weekend off.

Saturday Louis (my new main man) and I will replace all of the molding around the windows in the family room.

Sunday will be cleaning day.

Dusting, mopping, vacuuming and scouring the bathroom.

Construction is messy work!

Still, things are turning the corner and the finished project is starting to take shape.

In my world, that's a good thing.

I can only hope that in the end, it was all worth it.
