There is not a single thing in this entire house that I won’t have thought about. Now? It’s interior doors. I bet you just walk through doors and down hallways and never think about them. So did I. Now? I’m thinking about every single detail. Door Throughout this entire project the goal has been to…
The week started off a bit slow…. because we still didn’t have electricity from the last nor’easter. In the event there was any doubt about the need for a generator, that is gone. And just like all the other weeks, I’ll say the same thing. This is really coming together and feeling real. On Friday,…
The beautiful Richmond bathtub arrived this week – and I was beyond excited. Just like your traditional birth announcement, I texted several people and received congratulations / responses that were definitely more aligned with life-changing events. Clearly the people in my life are just as thankful we are moving past this tub phase. But the…
It feels oddly poetic that the week we talk about generators…. is the week that we get hammered by a nor’easter. We are currently on day 3 without power. I’m not exactly writing this by candle light, my parents have a generator so that’s a win. I made a few trips over to check out…
We are knee deep in the electrical phase right now …. and as part of that figuring out where everything might go. One of those “might” items? TVs. My parents are of the mindset that you should just wire for them all the time because you might need them. I am of the mindset that I…
It feels redundant to say that “lots of things happened” at the house. That is pretty obvious at this point. Every day there is something different – but the thing is, the decisions are becoming real and permanent. It’s pretty wild – and also a bit stressful. Sure, getting another electrical outlet added in 6…
After an embarrassing amount of over-thinking and research, I have finally made the tub decisions. It is a sense of relief and satisfaction that is probably not exclusive to just me. I feel like everyone in my life has been patiently listening to me talk about tubs, look at tubs, tell people that I’m going…
Consider this the official five month mark! When we were first getting construction quotes, the timeline ranged from 4-9 months… who knows where we will end up but it’s been a busy five months so far. This wasn’t the easiest week in the book. Lots of discussion around plumbing and electrical. The hardest part of…
Just like many areas of this house, the hall bathroom has undergone several transformations to get where we are. And when you look at the floor plan changes…. you might just chuckle to yourself at the end result. Why? Because it’s going to be exactly the same as it was for the first 70+ years…
It feels like we are on a roll of super productive weeks. After those incredibly cold weeks in December and early January, things are happening… every…. day. Even on Saturdays. I’m telling myself it’s because I’m such a joy to work with that people want to spend their Saturdays with me. The more realistic option…
