This weekend, I used to be feeling a bit down and anxious in regards to the lack of progress over the previous couple of days. Sure, the ground in the master suite suite is getting sanded, however that course of has gone slower than I had anticipated. But when all goes as deliberate, it must be accomplished as we speak. That signifies that by the top of the day, staff might be out of our home and the challenge might be fully in my fingers from right here on out. That second can’t come fast sufficient.
So I made a decision to look again over my listing of 2025 house objectives and see simply how a lot I’ve gotten accomplished, and the way a lot I nonetheless must do. This was an excellent time for it as a result of we’re simply getting into March, which implies we’re now 1/sixth of the way in which by means of the 12 months. I’ve ten extra months to knock off as most of the gadgets on my 2025 listing as doable.
I used to be very inspired by trying again over my listing and checking off the gadgets which have been accomplished. I feel it was in 2023 that I did these “progress report” posts on a month-to-month foundation to maintain myself centered. It was really an incredible encouragement and accountability for me. I gained’t be doing them month-to-month this 12 months, however I would do it each two months or so to maintain myself accountable and motivated.
Because it seems, I’ve gotten quite a bit accomplished within the first two months of 2025! It doesn’t look like I’ve gotten loads accomplished just because a lot of the work to date hasn’t been accomplished within the bed room suite. And let’s face it. The bed room suite is the challenge that every one of us need to see accomplished, proper? The bed room suite is and would be the “principal occasion” of 2025. Nevertheless it’s removed from the one factor on my 2025 listing. In order a evaluate and a two-month progress report, right here’s what I’ve accomplished to date in 2025.
And I constructed the steps to the entrance door of the workshop.
And whereas this wasn’t on my authentic listing for the 12 months, I had some much-needed gutters put in on the workshop.
I had hardwood flooring put in all through the bed room suite. This wasn’t a DIY challenge, however it’s progress!
And whereas it’s not fairly completed, so I can’t really verify it off of the listing but, the flooring are getting sanded now and can (hopefully) be accomplished by the top of as we speak.
And whereas this wasn’t a person line merchandise on my authentic listing, I additionally acquired all the drywall repairs completed within the walk-in closet/laundry room, acquired the partitions primed, and selected a coloration for the closet cupboards. FYI, I’m going with Clear Vista on the left. I would find yourself having it blended at 75%. We’ll see. However the drywall restore and priming was a reasonably large challenge on this room that wanted to be accomplished, so I added it to the listing simply so I might cross it off. 😀
I had added that line merchandise to the listing for the bed room as a result of that’s going to be an excellent greater job getting all of that drywall repaired and primed and prepared for wallpaper and wainscoting.
I had undoubtedly hoped to be additional alongside on the bed room suite by now, so I do really feel like I’m a bit of behind the schedule that I had deliberate in my head. But in addition, I are typically a bit overzealous and unreasonable relating to timelines. My Surprise Girl syndrome typically leads me to imagine that I can get way more accomplished in a time period than is definitely doable. In actuality, I feel I’m off to a fairly good begin on my listing for the primary two months! We’ll verify again at first of Might and see how these subsequent two months go.
