So usually I type up everything that I did yesterday and plan to do today. It's been my thing forever.
Today is a lot different. Today the list of things to do just got really big lol. It's a good thing though.
Let me explain...
Everyone knows that we have been "between" two houses for a couple months.
We've made the game room, the shop and the library is in progress. That's great. Progress is being made.
Well today, I got the go ahead that the shed up at grams is finished and I can start putting stuff in it again.
We had decided that that particular shed will be just for yard sale items. Things we're selling. It's easier since having a yard sale there would be ten times easier.
Everything right there at hands reach.
Now instead of working solely on the library tomorrow, I will be handling the yard sale stuff as well. It's time to get all that stuff packed up and out of the house.
Once I do that, the guy that's been doing all our work can look at pop's floor and see how much it'll be to fix the sub floor. I can't risk falling through since that is where the shop will be.
We're also going to see how much it will be to demo that bathroom next to pop's room. I wasn't sure if we were still going to do that but I think we'll probably end up doing it and I'll remodel gram's bathroom a bit.
I don't know how I will do so but I will.
There will also be a macramé curtain on a few doorways instead of doors. I never thought that I would be one to use that word. I usually hate knots but I love the curtain idea so that is what I will be working on when I have some time.
If things keep going the way that they are I should have time soon and I'm really excited.
So yeah, today is a different type of morning post and I'm just happy lol.

I think Gram and dad would love everything and I said it when everything started moving that it would take a year to get everything settled. I still think it'll take the whole year but there's so much progress already.

@Marilynda1225 I really hope so. I step back after I get done a day of working up there and I have this pride and hope.
Hope that they would love what we're doing. Hope that things are going to be better now.
Pride that it's ours and we have accomplished so much.

It's like playing Dominoes but there's just something satisfying when you stand back and look at the progress. Also, yeah, bittersweet. I'm just excited to show it off once it gets a little farther along.

Wow, that’s fantastic progress! The game room, shop, and library coming together already sound amazing. Turning the shed into a yard sale space is such a smart idea—it’ll make everything so much easier.
And a macramé curtain? I love it!
Which project are you most excited about right now?

I really can't choose lol. I'm loving everything I'm doing and when I step back to look at it all, I'm filled with bittersweet happiness.
I'm so happy and satisfied with everything but I know that Gram and Dad would have loved this.

How often do you think you'll have yard sales? Every weekend? Once a month? Just randomly?
