My wife and I bought a beautiful 1913 American Foursquare last December and immediately got to work. My father came out and led the remodel of our bathroom while DawnMarie and I stripped wallpaper and painted. We had the hand laid parquet floors refinished while upgrading the electrical system.
Meanwhile we met with a Architect to plan a small addition that will add a family room, bathroom and mudroom on the first floor, and two bedrooms on the second floor. Then I got sick...things were still moving along with the Architect and the Village but our focus was elsewhere. Yesterday we had our first meeting with the Village to seek a few variances needed to build the addition.
It took us 6 months to get put on the meeting docket...and it got cancelled!
Now in the past I would have been crazy upset or spent days ranting about the injustice, but this time i felt nothing. The fact is that this remodel really isn't that important. Do I want it? Yes. Is it going to make a significant improvement to my home? Yes. Will I waste even one moment of my life worrying about or it? No.
So until the next meeting on 11/13 life goes on!
