This week marks 2 months of glorious renovation.
When you buy a foreclosure, there are bound to be surprises. After repairing a water heater that decided to die last month, adding a new electrical panel so that our house wouldn’t be a sitting fire hazard, and countless additional “must-haves”, we officially feel like Tom Hanks in the movie Money Pit. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie before any major renovation project. We did, and we were still crazy enough to continue.
This diamond-in-the-rough house isn’t the only one to blame. My husband and I may have changed our minds a few times (sorry contractors) and changes always result in more mullah. Case in point: four days ago we thoughtfully decided to do an about-face on the guest bathroom layout.
After the crew installed a drop-in tub and built a sturdy frame around it, we decided the layout didn’t feel right in our bones. So we’re eighty-sixing the tub. We went back to the drawing board, literally, and sketched what we think will be the perfect solution. (hint: a door-less shower).
House Renovation/Life Tip: If something doesn’t feel right, or function right, don’t be afraid to abort the mission and start over. You don’t want to spend money and time building something that doesn’t work for you and your home.
Well, despite the empty wallet feeling, there has been significant progress each day. Check out the photos below:
