Ugh, I am SO sick of packing. There are packed boxes all over the place and still so much more to pack. Will it ever end??????
Some furniture has already gone, and more is going tomorrow. Maybe if some of the rooms clear out, I will feel like I can move.
I have to go get more boxes. I keep buying book size and I keep running out. It’s the most convenient because you can’t pack them too full and so they don’t get too heavy.
On the building front: while there are many aspects of building a home that are really fun and exciting, there are some that are just annoying. For example, having to decide where to place each and every light switch, plug receptacle and light fixture placement, in this case, can lighting. Decisions like where to place the lighting on the porch. Should it be motion sensor lighting, photo cell lighting or switch lighting? When you have a contractor do it, they just put all the electrical stuff where they think it makes the most sense. When you are the contractor, then you have to make all those nitpicky decisions. Next will come moulding choices, stucco color, ledge stone color and style. granite color, wood floor or tile, what kind of wood flooring. After that, then it’s wall texturing or no texturing, wall color, accent colors, etc, etc, etc. It’s never ending and for someone like me who is extremely challenged when it comes to making decisions, well, it’s not pretty. And don’t even get me started on decorating schemes. I am totally home decor challenged. As someone once told me, “Lori, you have no vision” and it’s absolutely true. Why would I ever be comfortable building a house? And here we’re on our third build. What were we thinking?
