1 Step Forward, 3 Seps Back Cha Cha


That's the dance of a major renovation. Do not attempt one unless you're very patient, highly motivated and are not easily discouraged...none of which I believed we were, but we can see the trophy and are dancing like crazy to win [metaphorically speaking].

We have ice after replacing the faulty compression valve. We have hot water after replacing a fitting that had the wrong glue....cha-cha-cha.

The dance steps have switched to 1 step back; 3 steps forward. That's progress. Yay!

You can't appreciate where you are until you remember where you were. At the bottom is where we were...after we already tore out the old plaster!

The beautiful new stove arrived Tuesday-photos to come. The quartz stone tile looked too new so I aged them with soot-gray and white. The brick is from the 1867 fireplace!
