We are deep into the nitty-gritty now. Anyone who has ever taken on a project like this, knows what I mean...
Me and my partner in crime are getting impatient and testy with each other. He is a pessimist and I am an optimist. I guess it's good over-all because we keep each other balanced, but during the day-to-day, it is a challenge for us to stay "loving". Not to worry, this is completely normal during the process of rehabbing a house.
The city has given us 90 days to complete it's list of requirements for occupancy, and we are continuously hampered by freezing temperatures, with no heat and no water in the house (well, that's because we have no plumbing hook up and no furnace). Spring comes tomorrow, but someone forgot to tell Mother Nature.We're about halfway through our allotted time and she continues to hammer us with frigid temps and snow.
Our new entry and storm door come in Wednesday, and we will figure out how to get them home in the trunk of our car, ha ha ha.
We purchased the heating & cooling systems plus all of the ductwork and little things to go with it. They will be delivered on Thursday.
Friday, my brave stepson will scale the roof, in order to drop a liner down the chimney, to the new furnace.
Saturday and Sunday are going to be busy! It's going to be all about the furnace.
I cannot wait to get some heat in this place. Once we have normal temps, I can start the magic...
tile, paint, carpet, light fixtures, and window treatments.
I just detest the nitty-gritty part of it all. I want to decorate!!!
