Sometimes this question is the adult rendition of “Are we there, yet?”<\/p>\n
Last time I wrote anything I (rather hopefully) said that the trimwork in the office was being done. That project remains unfinished, but I remain hopeful<\/i> that it is bumped up into the early springtime. In the sidebar are several other projects that remain from 2009.<\/p>\n
We had gale force winds in latter 2009 which blew out several panels from my new greenhouse. That meant a delay in being able to use it, but the panels have been ordered and I hope they are in place for the February 2010 garden preparations. You can see that 2009 demanded patience and delayed gratification.<\/p>\n
It also began the organizing de-cluttering efforts that are the main source of renovation for 2010. We moved some things around to prepare for better use of the house. I reorganized and cleaned the kitchen this January so far. Sometimes this sort of maintenance is worth more than remodeling. <\/p>\n
I still would like a new front porch and one room remains in need of remodeling, but I would really like to stop working on the house. My aim is to wind up the remodeling work. <\/p>\n
Future posts will cover those projects and recount what we have already accomplished. Tales of the good, the bad, and the ugly; the forsaken, and the delightful, will be thrown in there somewhere, too.<\/p>\n
The only thing on my purchase list right now is a bookcase. Or perhaps see if Handyman wants to build something in.<\/p>\n
