Bathroom Renovation 2008 - Part 3

The progress continues! Plumbing work has been done for a few weeks. Josh has run the internet cables throughout the house. The greatest progress is we no longer have doors in our hallway! (See Picture) It has been framed up and has drywall. I finished priming the walls this weekend and will paint the new color next weekend. The back wall of the old laundry room has been removed and our new closet is ready to have the drywall hung. We cut the opening for the new closet door in our bedroom. That was exciting! Electrical work is almost complete and then we'll be ready to drywall the bathroom.

This week is a two day work week for both Josh and I. We'll be doing some bathroom work on Wednesday. Then we are spending Turkey Day with both of our families!

Reflections

I stand reflecting on the events of this week - a death, a marriage, and the "change".

There are moments that happen in life that no one can explain. You're left reflecting on what caused this rift in time. It is in these moments that you learn that there is absolutely nothing that you should take for granted in this world. Because within a split second it could be gone forever. Taken before you have a moment to truly appreciate the gifts we are given in this life. You start to wonder "what if".

Then there are moments in life that renew your faith in the ones you love. The excitement of witnessing a marriage between two people who truly love one another. To be a witness to a new beginning meant to withstand the test of time.

Then there are moments in life that leave you speechless. A moment meant for the history books, but frightful at the same time. Worried about the "change" to come. Sure some may say anything is better than today. Everyone has a view. My view at this moment in time looks gray.
