My to do list keeps getting longer and longer and for all of you who sit back and tell me to get a job, let me tell you, I already have one and it is not an easy one at all, I may not get paid in cash like most people but I do work hard and the pay will be an amazing house for us to live in for a very long time.
Matthew and myself both work very hard on the house and we both work at least 8 hours a day, usually a lot more, doing what we are great at, Matt has redone all the plumbing and doing the tiling in the bathroom and framing walls, blocking and replacing ceiling beams and working his ass off on a daily basis, just so we can have the beautiful home we always wanted.
I on the other hand am doing other things like dry walling, mudding and taping, running new electrical, redoing the hardwood floors and then the finishing stuff like paint, wallpaper, and staining the floors. I have also insulated the walls and ceilings in the house and we are moving along quite well and getting things done at a very nice pace. I love our little house.
Anyhow over the next while this is my to do list, I need to finish wiring the bathroom, start wring the kitchen, wire both bedrooms and then the dining room and living room. Once all the wring is done, we can get the dry wall up, mud and tape it all and then the floors can be finished and we can paint. Doesn't sound like a hole lot of stuff to do, but it actually all takes a lot of time and will keep me busy for a while.
The reward of this will be when Matt and I finish and we can sit back and look at everything we have done and then maybe start again on a flip house, who knows. We are good at renovating and are now experienced and at least when we decorate it doesn't look like a dead animal hunting lodge like some peoples houses in Alberta who are supposed decorators, oh well to each their own.
Today I am going to try and sand the rest of the bathroom that I need to and get it painted back there so Matt can put in the shelving unit and we can start dismantling the old bathroom and set up the configuration of the spare room(man cave).
Life is grand and I am getting back to me, thanks to my new family which is made up of Matt, our animals and a few very good friends. Hope you all have a happy Sunday and I will be back soon, smiles and hugs from your gaybors.
