    You and Chris have been working so hard.

    If you don't mind maybe you can help me make decisions on my loft because the sooner I get done the sooner you can visit.
    The sooner you meet your goal, the sooner I am visiting.

    Don't think for one moment that when I'm putting this project together I don't have you in mind.
    A nice cozy place for you to visit!

    This makes me want to do more to our house. I just can never get my boyfriend to help me do crap. Spring cleaning will do it though. We need to re-paint everything.. re-do our wood floors and get a few new doors for the house!~

    That's poopie. Luckily Vicki and I work together pretty well. We tackle projects together doing different aspects and or helping each other on things we can't do ourselves. Makes the jobs much easier.

    Somethings I don't mind doing by myself like painting but big projects are hard to do alone.

    I just keep telling Mike how sexy I think he is swinging a hammer and usually he's happy to help.

    Our house is a project in itself. I guess it's a bit overwhelming. We work alot and when we get home.. we just want to relax! There is so much to do too! I mean, we scrapped our whole living room and mudded it. (It had icky popcorn stuff... ON THE WALLS!) But we haven't painted it yet. I got primer on the doors and on our windowsills but no actual paint. We painted our hall way.. which is short and got our kitchen floor re-done.. but.. nothing else.

    We have two rooms to get new carpet on and paint those before we do. Fix a leak in our ceiling. Gah, I could go on and on!

    I'm bad about looking at the "BIG picture" and then I don't want to do any of it because I get overwhelmed too.

    Maybe start by setting aside a few hours a month.
    I bet you would be surprised at how much you could get done and somethimes after I get started I don't want to stop.

    That's a really good idea!

    I know when it gets to spring time we are going to have at it again. But that is just a great idea. It can get very overwhelming. Maybe I should try to just little things rather then EVERYTHING!

    Best way to go about it. Before you know it, you'll have made good progress---but pics are required.
    Just be careful and not get sidetracked into OTHER projects that you come across that need to be done, too. I am really bad about working on something, then coming across something else that needs attention, so I leave job 1 and start job 2, etc.
