I came within an inch of crashing to a complete halt this weekend; this bathroom must be finished soon. If not, it will finish me. While laying the pebble tile in the basin on Saturday, I literally had an emotional breakdown; being a perfectionist, and doing something highly imperfect, is a recipe for disaster. After some calming down from James (who has been amazingly understanding and patient during this renovation), and a soothing bath in the other bathroom, I was able to relax, and disconnect for a bit.
The only thing that is keeping me grounded, is the FACT that it will be done soon, and my sanity will return. I have to believe this, in order to continue moving forward. Ladies and gentlemen, duane will return to his regularly scheduled programming shortly… please stand by.
Brian and I watch a show on DIY called “Renovation Realities.”
Because of this, we’ve decided never to renovate anything ourselves. The cost will be cheaper than all the therapy we’ll need afterward.
@mingaling: I’ve seen that show! LOL, but for some reason, I ALWAYS seem to be able to convince myself that “that won’t be us!!!”. It is not “un-doable”, but it is just taking forever. I am just ready to enjoy my nice shower, dammit!
Home improvement jobs seem to have a way of doing that to people…I know ours have.
