We have rails!

Chad and I decided we were way to lazy in 2024 and we feel like we didn’t get a lot accomplished. I did remind him that a couple of our projects (living room, painting the outside of the house and the shed weren’t small things). I also reminded him we actually did do a lot of things outside of the house this year, we actually were semi-social. I want to say I disagree with him, but I kinda agree, so our 2025 New Year’s resolution is to get everything done minus any of the touch ups (like repainting trim where I get too aggressive with the vacuum or accidently scraped a small area on a wall as we brought things in or out) and possibly the pool.

In 2025 look for the master bedroom, master bath, entry way/hallway, garage entry and kitchen remodels! I started to look at kitchen cabinets and think I found what I want….so excited! The pool most likely will have to be 2026 as the bath and kitchen remodels will require us to move waterlines, add waterlines and sewage lines…so this will be a fun, dirty, and time consuming mess.

This weekend Chad was on call and did get called out both Saturday and Sunday, so we did what we could with the time we had. We did get the rails up on the landing areas in the Atrium, so now no one can fall to their demise (ok that is probably an overstatement, but I’m sure you could get hurt bad). Gamora IS NOT happy with the rails as we took down her “bridge” to get to the other side. We will be putting up a bridge or cute steps for her, but that did not get done, and she has stood on both sides of the landings letting us know that she is not happy with it. (next weekend Gamora!)

Look at that lighting in the above, I swear that room does not look that horrible, but sure does look like there must be a terrible light in that room and paint color. 🙂 If you look across and down, you can see what the old trim color used to be …. can we say that is one of the areas in 2025 that will be completed? YES!!! That brown must go!

This is a reminder of what is was before and we built in the landings. The far side we had finished and what is open with the beams is what we were still building, but gives you a reminder of the ‘before’.
