After three years of planning, saving, and talking to contractors I signed the contract last night to do the renovation on my home. This time last year I was at the drafting table trying to solve how to keep my big antique cabinet in some kind of configuration with the new kitchen....and putting pots and pans under the leaks in my roof as it rained. This year the weather is more cooperative- dry and hot but this year that's good- the roof is coming off.
With the signing of the contract and a nice chunk of my savings sent off in a check, the work will commence on Tuesday.... I have the weekend to finish removing the rest of the hallway drywall and taking off my beautiful cedar siding in preparation for the coming of the back-hoe and the demolition crew. I did the interior demolition to save a pretty penny....and to take out a lot of pent up anger. Funny what one discovers when tearing apart your home....some interesting choices. Not sure what "he" was thinking at the time but while some of the work is strong, sturdy, meant to last...other parts are falling in the major WTF land. I'm sure there is a metaphor there somewhere but this is about looking forward and letting so.... so.... let's begin.
