Sources of Motivation

Posters like this one were originally designed and posted in England during WWII to offer the public reassurance in the dark days which lay ahead. I found the phrase rather applicable to our current situation as well (although quite different) and picked up a poster from etsy last week. It now hangs on our door as a source of motivation when we want to throw in the towel and just watch football (like today) or take a nap (like every day) instead of working on the house.

Happy New Year!

With the new year comes new year's resolutions. This year, one of mine is to update this blog on a more regular basis. I'm shooting for once a week instead of once a month this year. The hope being that there may just be a correlation between the frequency of posts and the actual progress on the house (long shot, I know, but it's worth a shot, right?).

New photos coming soon. We're currently finishing up the last of the foundation work under the house which frankly has sucked...big time. Much more for Craig, who is taking this all in amazing stride, then for me. We're really looking forward to sealing up the remaining holes (in the floor, walls, roof, etc) in the near future and then focusing our efforts on making things more 'livable'. Things like pluming electricity and - dare I say - drywall and tile. Just typing that gets me excited. A 'livable' house is on the horizon, folks.

May 2009 see the end of this blog and some amazing after shots. Happy New Year, everyone and thanks for the continued to support!
