One Room Challenge, Respectful RenovationNovember 6, 2022151Views 0Likes 0Comments

Finally, I have something to report. Week six is where you start to understand how I operate. I accomplish tiny tasks for five weeks and then rush to finish during the last three. Most of the time, this crush of work is self-induced. This time, I was waiting for tradespeople, but that is totally understandable.…

Last month, Andy and I celebrated our 20-something anniversary. We spent 24 hours in Zion National Park to commemorate the big day.

My update is a little late this week because I've been waiting for the plumber and the potential tiler. There have been days where I've been a bit stressed about all the waiting, but I'm mostly keeping things in perspective. Restoring the diamond-paned window has kept me busy, and I spent some time cleaning and…

I don't have much to share this week because I am still waiting for the plumber. Until he comes to repair the toilet flange and drain pipe, I cannot screw down the subfloor. The subfloor needs to be screwed down before I can reinstall the HardieBacker on the shower walls and so on. It is…
