Intentional
So lately, we've been on a bit of a housing rampage, delightfully not instituted by emergencies. (Albeit delightfully instituted by a parent.) We had Sears over on Saturday for a chat about Brett Favre and unpleasant estimates on windows (I kid, I kid, it was actually $2000 less than initially expected. But $1000 more than we are willing to pay.) Tonight is round two, expected to be equally as pricey. And then next Tuesday, a local chap will stop by and, aware of our budget, will offer a far more acceptable estimate. Once we've got that all scheduled to occur, the fire guy is going to come over to talk about drilling giant holes in our brick exterior. Following that, there will be countless arguments concerning carpet remnants and metallic green finishes. Ultimately, it will result in a basement that will cost us several thousand dollars less to heat this winter. I'm looking forward to the changes, and even more so, the unseasonably warm winter we will surely be in store for once we make these upgrades.
The intention this fall was to get our porch painted (not done), and my bathroom tiled (not done), and lots of football watched (done, every Sunday). I'm glad we opted to focus on other stuff, but the original stuff still needs to get done. It's fun not having traditional work hours, kids, and acts of housing devastation interfere with our plans. Plus, it gives me more time to talk myself into painting my bathroom in the garish and offensive hot pink and black tones I miss from my apartment. Wouldn't this look lovely in a pink and black bathroom? The previous homeowners did a fairly good job of choosing lighting fixtures, so there are few that need replacing. Of course, I didn't "need" to paint the dining room either, but I did. Anyway, I'll update with pictures as things change in the basement and everywhere else.
