When it’s time to get down to the real scrubbing, let your cleaners do the hard work for you instead!

Yup, the kitchen’s still ugly, but we have actually  managed to completely tear down and re-build one room this last year when we did.baby Jack’s bedroom.

Still, there always seems to be a reason to delay progress, isn’t there?I’m sure there are enough of you in these same shoes.Every time we think we’ve found our next big project, it’s either not really a convenient time (like tearing down a bathroom with a tiny baby in the house), or we think “Well if we’re going to do that project, then we might as well do this one, and that one, and that one over there too.” And then there are those that just sit there for no good reason.

Eek.. Well earlier this Spring, I started really getting the itch to make this living room not make me shudder.So I’ve been slowly tackling it in 10 minute increments when I can get Jack to be happy enough in the Jolly Jumper for a little bit.

It took a long time, but it got the job done!

Here’s how the room used to look..So of course when you buy an old house like this, you’re going to get an inspection.

Because you’re smart like that, right?You want to know what you’re getting into.

Well, as fun and interesting as those things are, it seems like they never really tell you the full truth.‘Cause then, honestly, no one would buy houses, ever.
