Three weeks to go until we close on the house on Kenmore Place. We went through for the third time today, to take key measurements and see for ourselves with clear minds what we have committed ourselves to. It needs work. Lots of work. Lots more work than I recalled. After inspecting crawl spaces in need of insulation, opening non-motorized barn door garage doors, counting more than 30 painted-over light switches and outlets, seeing at least 7 different trim treatments (dark finish, light finish, no finish, grey paint, mauve paint, white glossy paint, white flat paint), eyeing a dozen light fixtures in need of changing and more...I'm already tired. But my beloved, bless his heart, is already drawing up the plans on his computer as I write.
You know what we need? We need to buy a boat. An old, waterlogged boat that we can fix up. And we should get another dog. Or two! Because we need more to do. Ah, being project people. Vinnie, you'll be swinging a hammer before you walk my darling. And come to think of it, you may learn to walk gingerly...there's carpet to tear out, mind the tacks!
