Can this be?

11 months, 14 days old

We completed a project, you guys. I'm just as shocked as you are but don't worry we still have many uncompleted ones to keep us procrastinating. Joe installed the new door in our kitchen around March 20 so if you are keeping track that means it took 6 months to finish it. It has been functional all this time, it just had no trim or casing and insulation was hanging out from where we cut into the wall to insert the door. I finally had enough because Barrett would be-line it to that area whenever he was left unattended and then he cried because he just wanted to play with it and that made me want to pull my hair out. Not a good combination so it had to go.

Let's start at the very beginning from before we moved in.

Then after we painted and cleaned everything up.

After 6 months with no good access to the backyard, we built the deck and installed the door. And here it stayed for another 6 months.

The final result! You may notice that there is a new light switch to the right of the door that wasn't there before. The exterior part of our main level did not have any electrical or lighting so Joe ran some more wires and added the light switch. We now have a spot for an exterior light on the deck. (I just need to pick one out.)

  2. Love it! We are on year 4 of house renovation. When I caught Kenley trying to pull the wires out of the braker box, I flipped out. I was promised before Christmas.
