Tuesday = day 4 in Houston
Spring break = pushing to finish the house
Sometimes it feels like the house will be finished any hot minute, and then I start running through the small details and I talk myself into an anticipated July 1st finish date.
This week is probably the most time (consecutively) that I have spent in Houston in 9 years - that seems crazy. I have been staying at the house; the first time I have stayed there in 12 years!
While I am thoroughly enjoying my trip down memory lane, I know that regular life will pick back up next week when school starts back up for the home stretch to summer.
This week's tasks / accomplishments are small and time consuming; but the house really feels like it is coming back together as long as I steer clear of the master bathroom. The walk-in shower is in partial demo and fingers crossed it will be finished before I go home (more like I can't go home until it is finished). Items I have checked off the list in the last 4 days: repaint all of the base boards (whole house), touch up paint (whole house), repaint and install all vent covers, finish out all switch plates, argue with Home Depot (yes I need both parts of the special order toilet). I am aiming to have 5 light fixtures / fans installed, blinds measured / cut / start install, and finish cleaning the house. Wondering what still needs to be done? The whole yard (omg), replace the water heater ($$$), pressure wash the exterior of the house / patio / driveway, install vanities in the master bath, install one special order (size) toilet, locate a two-panel 18" inch door, have the carpet on the stairs installed, and a partridge in a pear tree.
