My house is a wreck!

My husband decided to replace the tub in his bathroom with a walk in shower. How hard could that be, right?
Well, it's been an ongoing project forever, it seems like. First he had to take out the tub, replace the walls around the shower, then we'll paint the bathroom, replace floor and ceiling molding, and border.
In the utility room which is on the other side of the bathroom, he's had to redo the walls, plumbing, paint and a million other things.
I have my clothes dryer in the dining room, the washer is in the kitchen, and there are tools all over the place.
We're planning to paint today or tomorrow. It's a job, I tell you what, bud.
But it will be nice if and when it's ever finished. Dale is still struggling with the fatigue from Covid he had in May.
Life happens and we just have to deal with it. I'll sure be glad to get my house back in order again, though.
What's happening with you guys?

Sounds like a huge project. I hope it all goes well. I'm sorry Dale is still handling long COVID-19. Our housekeeper is coming today. That's all that's happening. Have a good day.

I know you're glad your housekeeper is coming. Is NC too far to send her afterwards?

That's a lot of work. I hope it's done soon and all you need to do is admire it.

@misunderstood_zombie We're just about through with the laundry room. The shower is installed and plumbed, still have to paint the bathroom and a few more things.

That will be wonderful to have it all finished. And to get my washer back in. I'm running out of clean clothes!

@1creekgirl Maybe he can complete the laundry room first.

@1creekgirl I don't doubt it. How is your husband doing - as he has the covid fatigue? My friend's husband is going through that right now . . . said he gets tired more easily.

@much2say Dale's improving, but still tires easily.

@1creekgirl - We have too many things. We should have not moved a lot of stuff from Monte Carlo when we moved here, I should have donated everything we had double.

@LadyDuck it's easy for things to accumulate.

I need to do that, too. My cousin's son recently moved into his own place so I'll see if I have some household items he might could use.

Getting busy redoing things in your house. That's a lot of things to do but it pays.

@Nakitakona We finished the last part by putting up a border. Now I just have to find some bath rugs. It really is a relief to have it finished.

Just running around trying to find cheap prices for everything. I did manage to score gas for 3.99 at Costco, and cherries for 2.99 a pound at Aldi.

You found some great bargains. I can't believe I'm calling 3.99 gas a bargain. Everything's relative.

We'll be getting solar panels tomorrow. So, I'm looking forward to that. We'll be out of power for a little while, but it's okay. We're still waiting on this week's schedule. Not sure when George will be going back to work.

@1creekgirl No. He's going back to work, but without the weekly schedule we don't know when. Funny enough, a few minutes after I hit reply, the schedule was posted.

Projects always end up being more than planned. I know it will be nice, though when you all get finished.

If there is anything that I have learned from watching remodeling shows on HGTV is that you better plan on running into several issues when you decided to update or remodel a part of your home.
I am sure it will be lovely when it is completed.
A couple of friends of ours who have had covid are still suffering effects from it. Mostly low energy like Dale, and memory problems. Very sad.

Covid has more long lasting effects than anyone knew.

Remodeling is rewarding but it always takes longer than we think it will. I have lived through several remodels, and if I never have to do that again, it's ok. I hope it goes well for you.

It's been a long, hard project. We're probably 3/4 finished. Dale hasn't completely recovered from his second round of Covid, but he thinks he's still 40 and can do everything.

I know the feeling. A couple of years ago, my husband redid our kitchen counter tops. The house was turned upside down when he did that.

That was hard, wasn't it? But I bet your new counter tops are pretty.
