Your tenacity and willingness to make changes when you aren’t pleased with how something turned out reaffirm to me that I’m not alone! the fret work you did for your doors was awesome).


Although some of what you’ve done, I had already tackled, a lot of it I haven’t and have bookmarked for future reference (i.e. (None of whom care to learn anything about any of these skills, they just want to know “Mom, when are you going to have our house back together” Lol)Īll this said, because I want to let you know you have been an inspiration to me on several occasions. Did I mention, I have four teenagers living at home, too. We began a remodel project in late 2014, my husband was injured at work three months later & has had two surgeries since, so from necessity (and my own enjoyment) that means I’ve torn out load bearing walls & replaced with recessed beams (this I did have help on before he was injured), framed in new walls, framed and installed nine windows, hung sheet rock on ceilings and walls (thank goodness for lifts), mud/tape joints and done smooth trowel finish, laid maple hardwood that we reclaimed, poured concrete overlay & stained to look like granite, tiled a tub/shower surround, etc. Added to the fact, my being raised in the country, where we built our own home additions, barns, fences, etc., it is kind of ingrained. Plus, for us, living on one income, raising four teens, means it is imperative to do as much of own work as possible.

Kristi, I’ve been following your blog for the past couple of years, and feel a kindred spirit!! Especially on hiring out other people, I would rather learn how to do it myself even if it takes more time. Reply To This Comment ↓ Kirsten Fredrick-Martin Januat 11:20 am
