You know how when you start a remodeling project you’re like, “We’re just gonna do this, this and this. And that’s it. That’s all. Totes easy.” And then it begins and suddenly you’re like, “I WANT A BALANCING SWAN ON A TIGHT ROPE OVER THE STOVE WITH THIRTEEN FOUNTAINS AND A BUILT IN GLOW IN THE DARK HAMMOCK ON TOP OF THE FRIDGE.”
Yeah.
So this is my life right now. Let’s begin.
Oh. Ew.
We decided to rip up the floors. In other words, we decided to RIP OUT OUR SANITY.
This is Eric. My best friend’s husband, aka our contractor. We’ve known Eric for 24,634,125 years. We like him.
This photo is blurry because I was laughing. BIG SURPRISE.
Eric forgot his tools, so I let him borrow mine.
I’m kidding.
Remodeling means cords and hoses and weird vacuum things are everywhere. And you sneeze a lot.
We also decided to build little wall pocket thingies, so that I can display pasta, grains, some glassware, props, etc.
That drilling was so soothing to listen to.
Oh my.
Oh, sick.
Hey, there’s some dog food!
Crowbars need rest too.
Oh hey, there’s the basement through those cracks!
We’re like, so classy.
My stomach hurts.
Now the rest of me hurts.
Barf.
AND our little cheerleaders, Charlie and Olive. They are LOVING all of the loud noises of remodeling. LOVING it.
And this concludes today’s reno update! Now if you’ll excuse me I have to yank up nails out of that sub floor stuff. And find a stiff drink.
Stay tuuuuned for more!
