I had a objective to utterly end our bed room suite (not together with the storage room, clearly) by the top of this month. And I truly assume that’s going to occur! I’m all the way down to the previous couple of small tasks, so over the previous couple of days, I made a decision to place my nostril to the grindstone and see simply what number of I might get checked off of my listing.
I began with those I dreaded essentially the most simply to get these over and carried out with. First up, the bed room doorways. Ever since I put in these doorways, the doorways have been virtually inconceivable to shut as a result of they have been only a tiny bit too vast to suit into the opening. Once I first put in them, they closed properly. However our home, constructed on a pier and beam basis and shifty soil, is at all times shifting and shifting ever so barely all year long, so quickly after I put in them, they began getting caught and wouldn’t shut all the best way.
So I needed to take away one of many doorways, lower it down on my desk noticed, reinstall it, and add a brand new piece of vertical trim the place the doorways meet. Thank goodness my mother was right here to assist me with that! There’s no means I might have lower down that door on my desk noticed on my own since all I’ve is a small jobsite desk noticed.
However we bought it lower down, and the I bought it reinstalled, and now the doorways shut very simply. I can lastly get the paint touched up (and the brand new trim painted), set up the door pulls and door lock, and “frost” the glass for privateness.
Subsequent up, see should you can pinpoint what’s now gone from this picture…
Sure, I lastly moved our router! This factor has been sitting on the ground proper right here within the lobby ever since I eliminated the hallway cupboards. That was over a 12 months in the past. So the router had turn out to be a fixture within the hallway ever since, with its unpleasant cable hanging all the way down to the ground.
I dreaded this as a result of I needed to rise up within the attic to maneuver it, and I hate stepping into the attic. However I used to be decided to get all of those dreaded tasks carried out that I had been procrastinating on as a result of I dreaded them. It solely took about half-hour, and now the router is positioned within the hallway rest room (soon-to-be storage room). That would be the good location for it as soon as that room is finished.
The largest challenge that I had been dreading was changing the water broken grasscloth wallpaper within the lobby.
Not like shifting the router, which I dreaded after which it solely took half-hour, this one wasn’t so quick. It wasn’t troublesome in any respect (nothing like eradicating wallpaper from the 80s and 90s), however it nonetheless took about 4 hours over two days to get it completed. However it was well worth the effort and time as a result of now it appears to be like good as new.
Right here it’s with a little bit peek of the chook pillow. I really like that cloth a lot, and I’ll be utilizing it on yet one more piece of the bedding that will likely be fairly outstanding. So keep tuned for that.
And eventually, I bought our new monstrous 65-inch TV held on the wall. This new TV was the one requested change that Matt requested for, so I used to be blissful to oblige. It truly doesn’t look as huge and imposing now that it’s held on the wall.
I nonetheless want to color the twine cowl after which stick it to the wall. I hung the TV excessive sufficient in order that I might put issues on the dresser with out it protecting the display. I’ve to confess that I completely love this TV. And I’ve modified my thoughts about making a body for it. This TV is way thinner than our earlier TVs, so it truly sits shut sufficient to the wall that there’s no ugly aspect view. In order that’s one other challenge marked off (or eliminated, truly) from my “to do” listing.
Along with these tasks, I additionally labored on the draperies extra. These are feeling just like the unending challenge, however I’m so near being carried out. I simply should put the pleats within the final panel (which occurs to be one of many double-width panels for the door), after which I’ve to hem all 4 panels, and so they’ll be carried out. So, y’all, I’m truly on observe to fulfill my objective of ending our bed room suite by the top of this month! It can really feel so nice to have this huge challenge DONE!
In different information, Tiger is adapting to spending an increasing number of time indoors. He nonetheless desires to go exterior in the course of the day, however he’s progressively spending much less and fewer time exterior. I used to let him out within the morning after which I wouldn’t see him till about 9:00pm. However recently, he’s been displaying up on the again studio doorways at random instances of the day wanting me to let him inside. He nonetheless doesn’t get together with Felicity or Cooper, though Cooper has calmed down fairly a bit round tiger. However any time he will get too shut, Tiger swats and hisses at Cooper. He does the identical with Felicity. However I believe in time, they’ll all get used to one another.
