Plain painted MDF edges are not the prettiest thing so plan to cover up the rough, exposed ends if you go with MDF, like we did.

I know it looks pretty scary in there, but this is when we started to get really excited.Look at all that progress!

“Well”, we thought, “since they’re here anyway, why not get them to move some of the plumbing and put the toilet and new tub where we’d really like them?”…and “While they’re here, why not move the door?And cut a hole in the wall and put in a new window?Why not move a whole bunch of electrical too?”.

You can see where this is going….A few weeks into the project, we had made some huge changes in the room and things were really moving along.

Then, a couple of things happened: 1) I got baby Jack to start sleeping really well in his crib at nap time, freeing us up just a bit during the day, and 2)Chris realized that he really did want to do more of this project himself so he could be sure that everything is absolutely perfect.

Because it’s Chris.It’s about 3 minutes over and over and over again.

This week I might have less trash and spend a little more time polishing stuff.Next week, I might organize the stuff in the door..

Without fail though, every week when I do this little 3 minute thing, I end up feeling so much better about the whole fridge situation.Honestly, too, about my ability to figure out what to feed my family!
