Love means surviving a makeover. Ray and I, hopefully, have new floors when you read this. I can't promise I'll have our computer back on to comment on everyone's posts.
We've done a rather thorough purge of stuff in closets that have not seen the light of day for years....and years....and years.
I've shredded plenty of ancient history. Decisions have been made, we are trying to think outside the box - how shall we use our space in the next 5, 10,15, 20 years?
These are the times that try men's (and women's) souls. We aren't moving. Hence the construction chaos. But we are hanging tough, cooperating, and collaborating. All for a common purpose - our lives together under the same roof.
Wish us luck. I see the light on the other side. Meanwhile....chocolate...thank goodness for Valentine's Day chocolate.
Cheers everyone.
New floors are a big deal - and a lot of work moving stuff out of the room. Hope the floors and purge go well.
ReplyDeletefloors look awesome and we are still in love. He masks, I paint trim. What a team!!
DeleteI assume you and your wife had a good V-Day.
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day Joanne.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
thanks. It's been a fine day
DeleteYes, chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate - as you well deserve!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new grounding.
You got this!
we do. The project is pulling together well. Floors look awesome. Now it's down to sort and put back in closets (that are painted!)
DeleteHappy Valentine's Day! Cleaning out things no longer needed combined with remodeling can test a relationship indeed. I'm glad to hear you are making your way through it.
ReplyDeletethumbs up. Hope all is well with you. A snowy Valentine's Day? sounds like it's been quite cold based on weather reports.
DeleteRenovations and purging sure can take up a lot of time, but must be done eventually. Unless one wants to be a hoarder.
ReplyDeleteI am truly the anti-hoarder. Don't let stuff sit too long - it gets chunked. All good so far. Whew!
DeleteCongrats on the new flooring and old stuff-purging, and more importantly, for still smiling on the other side of it all. Some of our room could reeeeeally use an overhaul, but neither of us are up to moving all of that stuff around any more to get 'er done, so we've convinced ourselves that it's "just fine" the way it is. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys had a super Valentine's Day. (I love that heart-shaped cactus leaf.) (Leaf...? Is that what they call 'em...?)
howdy -it's been a good and busy weekend with lots accomplished. We pretty much busted butt and are still smiling. Italian food for lunch on Friday was tasty - and he got me flowers and candy. Joy!
ReplyDeleteHope yours was equally the same. And a cactus limb??
Hi Joanne - makes so much sense - hope that new flooring has been successfully laid ... and now you can both relax with a few choccies, or even a tequila - is that made from cactii???!!! Oh excellent I see the tasty Friday! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeletewe didn't have much time to relax but it was a good V-Day weekend all around
