DECEMBER 16, 2024 Here’s my Christmas card photo. My cards have not arrived due to a the Candian postage strike, so this will have to do. I’m not posting the final furnishing photos because I’m taking back my privacy after this post. If you’re reading this, thanks for spending 2024 with me. Operation Strawberry Box,…

December 16, 2024 I got occupancy on Thursday, so that was also cool. That means I was able to legally sleep there or something. But we all know I would’ve done that either way. My family helped me on Friday and Saturday which made everything go really fast. I have no idea where half my…

DECEMBER 16, 2024 We cleaned, cleaned, and cleaned this weekend. It actually wasn’t that bad because there was a whole crew there helping. And it wasn’t a gross cleaning. Ya know, like the bathrooms hadn’t been used or anything like that. So it was just getting the dust out of there. If you’re in the…

DECEMBER 10, 2024 I kind of started moving some stuff last weekend. Just the things that are smaller and needed to be assembled. My dad and brother are building me closets which is cool of them. We hung some tv mounts, put stools together, and a chair too. By “we”, I do not mean me….

DECEMBER 10, 2024 The powder room is complete, and I think it might be my favorite room in the house. Lorri put it to use today. #donthatehercuzyouainther The shower door was also installed Saturday, and it’s boujee. I’ve never had the luxury of a shower door so this next level. Thanks, Mark. You da man.

NOVEMBER 5, 2024 It’s the final countdown. The backsplash is being finished today. That means the kitchen is near complete. Just need a faucet and appliances delivered. The LVP is also complete. The carpet will be started and completed tomorrow. It’s only on the stairs and the loft area, so it shouldn’t take a full…

DECEMBER 2, 2024 Now that we’re almost to the light at the end of the tunnel, it’s fun to compare the virtual renderings to what things actually look like. I’ll probably do some of the interior once that’s complete. Here’s the exterior for now. I need to get my porch swing swinging.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 Flooring was able to start early (last week Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!). They’ll finish the LVP/ tile (main floor and loft bathroom), and then the carpet (stairs and guest bedroom) will be done Friday I believe. The kitchen countertops were installed last week too. I’m assuming they cut a hole in it for the sink?…

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 The bathroom countertops were installed yesterday. Just waiting on the kitchen tops, and we’re cooking. Literally and figuratively. They also started the flooring prep today. LVP and tile will start on Monday, and the carpet will go in Friday. If all goes well, we’ll have all the floors done by December 5th….

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 Sooooo, the trim is painted which is another box checked. YAY! Countertops were delivered last week. Those will be installed tomorrow. The light fixtures (both interior and exterior) and fans were installed last week too. Apparently the ceiling fan I bought for the living room isn’t going to work with the sloped…
