  • The Ever-Expanding Nature of “I’ll Be Done in a Few Weeks”

    Posted on February 26th, 2008SethThe Stuck in the '50s House

    Still not done with House #2. Although the end is definitely drawing near, and the biggest hold-up at this stage is getting the electrician back in to finish running the electrical for the new bathroom.

    I hit it pretty hard the last five days or so, managing to get all the exterior painting done, all the tile in and grouted, and most of the interior painting done. Still some odds and ends remaining like new outlets, cleaning up the old door hardware, re-hanging doors, etc. And then, at some magical point, it’ll be done. And I’ll sleep, for about a month. After drinking a big bottle of tequila. Myself.
