July 31 Update

I'm always thinking about going somewhere so I decided to post the place I will be staying at in a couple months. Ahhhh, cannot wait.  The very top deck area is right outside the door from the bedroom I get to use while I'm there.

Anyway the update here at this old house is that the bathroom is about half way complete meaning everything has been removed and Bob is working on the plumbing issues.  Once that's done we can start installing the new shower, sink, vanity, light, medicine cabinet, wainscoting, trim, paint, etc.  Bob chose a paint color so now I'm going to have to repaint our bedroom.  And get a new area rug, lampshades, curtains and duvet cover.  Oh well.  I didn't really like that blue color we painted anyway.  Lol!!  We're going to start replacing all the doors in the hallway with white ones too, starting with our bedroom.  The doors, baseboard and trim in the hallway will all be replaced and painted white before the holidays.  After that we'll stop until after Christmas and then replace the trim and baseboards in the living room and kitchen. 

My mind has always been thinking about how we need to upgrade our home so it can be ready to sell at some point since we bought it while it was still decorated from 1968.  Sometimes though, I think about how I'd like it to look nice and new-ish while we're still living here so I can enjoy it for myself and not just for new buyers.  That's why there's this push to get 'er done!  If not for the lack of an open floor plan between the kitchen and living room I'd stay here for a long time.  I love our back yard and patio area and I love our neighborhood and the mature trees, etc. I don't even mind living in an old house with creaky floors because it's kind of cozy that way.   While we do not have plans to move in the next 3 years there's always the possibility of having to with Bob's job.  I would just hate to be stuck here selling this house while Bob moves away to start working somewhere else. 

So that's that for now.  I should have a pretty good update early next week because we're gonna knock out a lot this weekend.
