Yesterday Was Overwhelming

Even Les said so !!!!  (so you know it was a bad day)

As we need to go to St Thomas to Home Depot for supplies and to The Paint Depot to order the Total Wall, Les worked on the inside of the lower room yesterday and started ripping everything out instead  of continuing to frame the exterior as he wants/needs to purchase nails so he can nail the plywood up using his nail gun vs pounding them in by hand like he was doing – that was hard going.

When I can home from the kiosk he was struggling with removing all of the tile in the shower – he really did a fantastic job when he rebuilt it 6 years ago – it was a tough job to say the least.  After looking around and seeing what is ahead………all new framing, installing the new plywood, installing mesh, installing Total Wall, new windows, new doors, new sub floor, new tile, complete new bathroom, two new decks, new roof over the new deck, painting, trim, drywall, new electrical…….the list goes on and on and on……….we were both overwhelmed yesterday.  It wouldn’t be too bad if we didn’t have a deadline but we have guests in January !!!!!

Here is his progress – he still did a great job.

    That poor baby – he needs to take a self-imposed downtime day or half day off and go to the beach and drink some “Knickers Off Margaritas”…maybe we can entice him one afternoon while we are there! 😉

      You can always swing by and pick him up……….wait, if you did that you would probably end up swinging a hammer 🙂

    I am also overwhelmed. Les has amazed me with his skills and stamina all along. Your design ideas aren’t bad either… 🙂
