We are currently enjoying a few weeks vacation - more of a staycation. A few trips, some work on the car and on the house and just taking it easy.
The big job is to get a breezeway between the house and garage (enclosed) redone. It has been gutted for a little too long. At the same time I had to do some work on the apartment which is attached to the house as we have new tenants moving in at the end of the summer.
At any rate, three things happened, none of which have ever likely happened to you.
1. I normally keep appropriate sized lumber leftovers - I was able to do almost all the work with the leftover bits from other jobs. (hurray)
2. Within the last 24 hours I have addressed two specific jobs, one in the apartment and the other on the Viva - the Viva job has been intimidating me for months and the apartment for days - the Viva job took 40 minutes, the apartment 20. So much for intimidation - sometimes I just need to stop overthinking and do it. (doh!)
3. For the most part I could have done any of the apartment jobs at any time in the last decade and the place would have looked so much better but I didn't (doh!)
So, maybe one day I will learn - but I doubt it.
