The hub made it back safely to Alaska last night. He will be gone for 3 weeks. Since he was home the past two, there is no paycheck for his job this week. I get paid though. My pay is salary, so no OT surprises tomorrow.
I have created a few lists to help with the upcoming changes at home.
Must Haves
Wanna Haves
The Must Have list includes:
Repairing the living room wall
*New flooring throughout
unclog kitch/laundry room plumbing
*remodel upstairs bath
*repair downstairs bath
*replace broken window
*replace missing screens (argh!)
*paint entire inside
paint or reside external walls
*replace wood stove
*replace stairway bannister
* due to renter and dog's distruction and son's 'repair' jobs...
Wanna Haves:
Remodel kitchen
enlarge tiny master into master suite
It all depends on costs...which I am sure are going to eat up our budget very quickly.
My brother in law (from my ex) reminded me that he is a retired plumber with all tools and offered to take a stab at the plumbing issues. (yay)
I have found three contractors that specialize in remodeling- and will be getting bids in June.
The good news is that once this is done, we can put either or both homes on the market if we want, which is peace of mind for long term goals. I just need a good budget and the fortitude to stick with it.
