Today I kick start my blog with ongoing updates of our new home, and other things stretching the loose strings of sanity that keep me grounded to reality...
After just over a week in our new home, we finally decided on the initial efforts to begin the remodeling of the vintage 1977 style home. We toiled to near exhaustion through the options, and even enlisted the guidance and advice from an amazing lady who has been down this road before. Our focus of frustration is centered on the kitchen, with the shallow, golden brown cabinets, brown counters, and yellow bulbous light that appears to be an unnatural growth than anything ornamental.
The adjoining breakfast area has a vintage chandelier that needs to be replaced before my wife takes it down with a single swing of our Louisville Slugger.
I've given myself seven days to replace the counter tops, cut and move a cabinet, replace the faucet, and yes... change the chandelier while it remains whole.
All that in addition to the other repairs not listed, but certainly need to be done. Like this weekend's gutter cleaning exercise that turned into an emergency repair to a storm drain that was damaged by underground TV cable installed years ago, apparently while no one watched. Next in line are the power outlets that intermittently function. I'm a bit concerned about opening that can of electric worms...
Standby for more details and historical accounts I will unravel as the days go by...
