Victorian House Renovation in Bloomingdale, DC
hey, we should get at least some credit for even keeping up with the board. And even though most of the stuff isn’t completed we are making some progress on the VIB agenda. Like the patio door molding. I have actually spent some time on that last weekend, stripping paint from bottom pieces of the frame. I am going to call it right now – we actually finish in March.… Read the rest
chalkboard time — her’s our january to dos. not much crossed off (in fact not one item)
so here is our february board:
what can i say. we have been busy.i was actually telling someone that renovating a house and panning a wedding are fairly similar. we have the vision and its awesome (in our heads), but before you get there, there are lots of behind the scenes work, not to mention money, involved.… Read the rest
We are going to take it easy this month, because it feels much better to accomplish everything rather than just some things. and really as long as patio door is finished i would be happy. oh and the first dryer has got to go.
that’ll be it for 2010.
we did not get around to a bunch of stuff. but really its ok.
2010 really was momentous. I am looking forward to next year :)
Cheers!… Read the rest
i tried to go light on this one (no need to overburden ourselves) and hopefully we will be able to cross that top thing off of our list pretty quickly.
also, we decided to leave the fireplace for the summer, as of right now the chimney sweeps won’t be able to show up before december and really I don’t have any faith in that pledge, so I am just not going to deal with having a hole in my dining room for 2 cold months.… Read the rest
well, we got a few things done. and the things we didn’t, well they aren’t that visible here.
i think between the dryer (nope still don’t have one) and the fireplace (yep still waiting for that estimate in the mail) we deserve a bit of a break. besides, we have been doing lots and lots of measuring as we start thinking about the kitchen lay out. so, I am not going to do a recount (let’s just say chalk board wins this one).… Read the rest
remember our to do chalk board?
well, to have even more incentive to be productive, I am starting a monthly chalk board series – to chronicle our to do lists (at the beginning of the month) and our achievement/ failures (at the end of the month). This one is a bit backwards, because I don’t have a picture from beginning of the month. But this is what we’ve done over September:
I know some items are cryptic and some may be hard to read.… Read the rest
Over the long weekend I wanted to take some time to get a few quick projects done, to feel more accomplished (it helps really!)
It has been hard to keep track of all the things we want and need to do, and we always end up picking up and leaving projects here and there. So I Sergey decided that we needed a to-do list that is always in place – a chalk board!… Read the rest
