“We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.”
Martin Luther King
When my day ended yesterday,I was anything but a happy camper.
After a morning of demolition tearing out sheetrock, removing old insulation and getting rid of the old entry and storm doors to the house and an afternoon of installing a new front door,storm door and french doors to close off the room, one would hope for some sort of feeling of accomplishment. Instead, I found myself feeling nothing but frustration.
The new front door was sticking when you tried opening it. The storm door needs major tweaking to get it to function. The french doors don't close properly. The storm and french doors have no handles on them.And the floor which went down a week ago has to be redone. It's just not even and the flooring will crack if not addressed.
Guess which of the 7 dwarfs I wasn't?
Yep...........HAPPY!
So after losing an hours sleep last night, I dragged myself out of bed, went and picked up Luis, hit Home Depot for supplies and began tackling the check list from the night before.
It's now mid day.
The french doors have handles and are now functioning perfectly.
The front door has been fixed and now swings like Tarzan from a vine.
The front wall is re-insulated.
Some sheetrock has been installed and the the section of floor that has to be redone has been taken up.
With just the storm door to tackle and some self leveling cement to be applied to the floor, my day has taken a remarkable upward turn.
What a difference a day makes!
And the Sun is shining as well.
Life don't get much better than that!
