The Great Home Improvement Project (GHIP) will be moving forward this weekend. Please bow your heads and offer a moment of prayer. This is it folks. We have cleaned the garage. We have de-cluttered. We will continue to throw out and consolidate as we move from room to room. I am already tired thinking about it. But there is also a part of me that is so excited to finally be starting. I know that once we begin to see results, we will become motivated.

Or divorced. Time will tell.

We will be starting on Chickie's room, to warm up. We're trying to tackle one room at a time, at least for painting. What we are thinking of doing is to also add the flooring. Room by room, we'll move through the house. I'll most likely hold off on the decorating until the painting and flooring are complete. I can hardly wait.

In the initial discussions, I really wanted to hire this done. I am not one who copes well with a house during renovations. I need it to be done, and to be done right flaming now. It bothers me to have things up in the air, and I am known to have the patience of a gnat. On a good day.

I have to say that doing it room by room appeals greatly to me. The difficult part will be when we are working on the living/dining room area, and the kitchen. I do believe that if we can get a few rooms under our proverbial belts, it will help me cope.

Now, if there are any of you who would like to come and help, we have a place for you. Free room and board. And food. And alcoholic beverages...but those are for when we are done for the evening.

Carry on.
