If (Five Minute Friday)

Sharing is caring!

If is such a hopeful word! It lends itself to so many possibilities! If all goes well, by this time next week the plaster and lathing strips will have been removed and carried out to a dumpster in our driveway. If the group of college-age kids descends on our home as promised that job should be fairly quick and easy so we also bought the drywall to replace the materials they remove. If all goes well that will be delivered in a couple of days and the dumpster the day after that so it will all be ready. If the demolition goes well, the kids can carry the needed drywall up the steps and put it in the room where Hubby and I can install it. We have been told there may be twelve to fifteen kids to keep busy for the day and in exchange we just have to feed them. I can do that part.

If all really goes well, we (Hubby and I) should be able to finish the master bedroom and hopefully move back into it by the end of the year. Anything sooner than that is just a bonus. Any longer is still doable since we have been doing it for over four years already. We have been very productive with our working weekends lately. We have gotten so much accomplished around the house just since the beginning of April. We finished the Reading Room and Landing projects. We have made significant progress in the basement and garage. We got a ton of debris cleaned up off the driveway recently too. We have been eating dinner out on our nice clean porch at our Turquoise Table for a couple of months now and we just love it!

Not to worry, there is still plenty to do. Oh, the joys of home ownership! Stay tuned here folks for before and after photos and all the details. Also be sure to check my Instagram for more photos and shenanigans.

This post is part of the weekly Five Minute Friday link-up!
The prompt this week is: If
The assignment: Write for five minutes on the word of the week. This is meant to be a free write, which means: no editing, no over-thinking, no worrying about perfect grammar or punctuation. Just write.

Sharing is caring!

    Oh, this sounds very nice! Renovating a home is definitely a lot of work, but I hope the results are worth it all. Keep on going!
