I know how difficult it is to remodel your home. My friends have told me and articles in magazines have told me and chapters in remodeling books have told me.

But I didn’t learn from those good resources. Oh no……I am learning the hard way. Good ’ole personal experience.

I’ve been wanting to remodel for about 3 or 4 years. I’ve been thinking about adding a recliner, a computer desk, and a washer/dryer. And, I think I want to replace the carpeting with vinyl flooring.

I was just waiting for the right time. And when I opened my door after a day of traveling and smelled the spilled wine and saw the huuuuggggge stain beneath the bottle of cabernet, I knew the time had come. I knew the carpeting had to come out NOW. I knew it was time to remodel.

So, I’m remodeling. Here is my couch….sitting cold and forlorn out on the porch. Along with it are the dinette booth, TV cabinet, half of the carpeting, and all the “junk” stored carefully under my bed. I’m working in the closet right now to strengthen the flooring so that the washer/dryer will be secure.



Remodeling is a challenge. Remodeling is difficult. And remodeling is fun. Especially, at night when you contemplate the progress made and the end result.

And that’s the time to enjoy a nice glass of wine. After all, that’s what started this adventure.

Ya'll take care. :) :)
