Such is life and homeownership. You never really get to the end of the task list, you just approach it.

Going to start in on our study next. So very, very tired of the red paint on the walls and the popcorn on the ceiling.

AND...

BOOM.

The never-ending bathroom renovation might be really close to the nearly-ending bathroom renovation!

Nice.

I'd be more than happy to do that as soon as I finish my never-ending list.

The thing that just wreaked havoc on the timeline of this job was the drywall. It isn't all that obvious from those photos but I just can't do it right. I put mud on... Then sand 99.9% of it off... Then put more mud on... Then sand 99.9% of it off. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
