Well, I'll say it. I grossly underestimated the time it would take to paint/update/refurbish our entire new house. Pair that with two little dudes who turn into hyenas (cute ones though) whenever a parent steps their way into a remodeling space that they can't enter. You know, because of the dry wall dust, the sharp tools, and the paint strewn about that zone. I know, I'm such a mean mother for not letting them play with those things.
Never did I imagine that this home remodel would all lead to intense conversations with my husband late at night about whether the downstairs bathroom ceiling was smooth enough to paint or the brand of deglosser to use on the vanity cabinet. This is what my fantasy had imagined: my boys play together nicely in the basement for 30 minutes while Josh quickly scrapes the ceiling down. I toss a coat of paint on the walls and ta-da! room done in a weekend. Yeah.... that's not how it works.
We have so many plans, not enough money in our remodeling fund, and not enough time in the world to do it all. It's all moving along at a snail's pace with our lack of time and lack of late night motivation in the winter.
At this rate... we will be done with the house just in time to sell it. Ick.
