Oh Boy, Here We Go...

Well it's Saturday morning and I've decided it's time to just do it. I'm going to begin the process of building his and hers closets out of some of the living room. This will give us the closet that we lost by giving Grace our room. And, we can't really begin renovating her room until we get our old closet cleaned out, so this was inevitable.

There's still a debate as to if we should take a HUGE chunk of the living room to make it bigger, or just a small chunk to add closets. Either way, I need to cut into the wall that our new bedroom, and existing living room share. Our house was built in 1810 so Lord only knows what's in there. I know there's a bit of plumbing in one section, and there are outlets along the bottom, I just don't know where the feeds for that electric come from.

Ever seen the movie Money Pit? Ya know, the movie where Tom Hanks and that bartender lady from Cheers buys the big, old beautiful old house and try to renovate it? Well call me Tom Hanks. Here we go! Actually, Tom Hanks got to just go to his job and had contractors do all the work. Huh. Well, so I get to be Tom Hanks and Ty Pennington all in one! That's not so bad.

Here's a pic of the wall as it stands today. Furniture and all. The wall that will be the root of heated arguments, probable calls to electrical and plumbing contractors, and ultimately gazes into the checkbook that will be followed by temple rubbing deep breaths, and outcries of, "What were we thinking?"

Hey, that's the stuff life is made of! I'm not afraid. We always make it through. It will be a bonding experience for my wife and I right? RIGHT?

Stay tuned...

Another day, another daughter,
