So there's lots and lots of things going on around the house on lists of things
that need to get started around the house.
I'm working on my upstairs hallway project,
I'm working on prepping Ethan's room for new paint and furniture,
I'm getting ready to redo the redo on the upstairs bathroom
(turns out peach isn't a great color after all)
and I'm Big E is finally getting the laundry room started.
Back when we were waiting for settlement on the house,
we saw a huge deal on laminate flooring during a Black Friday sale.
We bought what we needed for the laundry room,
and it's been sitting there ever since... for a couple of years.
The room needs to have a small wall built to enclose the pipes and
cover the old window opening into the bathroom (the laundry room was once a porch).
And other than that, it just needs the floor (that can't happen until the wall)
and some drywall on the ceiling to replace the drop ceiling.
Oh, and we need to work on the doorway because
while helping friends salvage things
out of the old historic firehouse and community center,
I might have found a really great door for the laundry room
that is a little bit wider than the door that's there.
So we need a little bit wider opening,
and, you know, some minor electrical work
to move light switches and what not.
No big deal.
But really, isn't this door worth it?
The pebbled glass let's light in,
but hides whatever mess might be in the laundry room.
And it's a piece of town history.
Totally worth the effort
(says the person not doing the work).
So let the work commence!
We have about a month and half to get it all completed
(before we have our Christmas Open House).
