What your house becomes

Hello all. Oh sure you look at this blog and think house renovation is glamorous and clean and efficient. That's only part of the story.

One thing that happens to every house undergoing a top-to-bottom overhaul is that whatever rooms you are not working on at any particular moment become huge closets. Places for the tools and building blocks of future projects.

These are kitchen cabinets that will form half of the new, bigger island we will build plus tile for the bathrooms and laundry room.

These are the new, pine stair treads for when we turn to that.

And this is kind of everything else. We didn't even have all our paint yet and the room is crowded.

And even as time passes and we use things, somehow not much changes.

If you haven't been paying attention to supply disruptions and shortages during the past 12 months that's a big reason we have stockpiled what we'll need for projects months into the future. We'd rather have it now than be unable to find it when we're ready. 

Until next time.
