Day 1: Be really excited about new project. Go to Lowe's 7,000 times to get supplies and wander around the store deciding on what we'll buy for future projects that have nothing to do with project we're working on now.
Day 10: still be excited and have gotten a handful of things done. Make goals that everything will be done in 2 weeks knowing full well that this isn't true. Be excited that project will be finished in 2 weeks and make plans to throw a party to show off work.
Day 13: Work on project with a little less enthusiasm. Nikki will lay on the floor, feet propped up on wall, telling John that we need to work harder and this has to get done SOON! Nikki will then whine when John asks her to go to Lowe's because then she'll have to put on real pants and try to not look homeless. Wouldn't want Lisa at Lowe's to think less of her.
Day 18: Work in short spurts, disappointed that more hasn't gotten done. After 15 minutes of work, give up and go watch 12" TV in bedroom because if we hook up the big TV we wont work on project. Also 12" TV cant be hooked up to satellite for same reason so only movies can be watched.
Day 23: Get really excited again because something big is going to happen with project. Go out for ice cream to celebrate. Come home and watch 12" TV because you still have ___ number of days until big thing happens.
This is where we're at in the "dry" bar project. Stuff has gotten done but not really. The cabinets still aren't fully installed but we're blaming this on the fact that we had to paint a wall.
BUT!!!! Our granite is done!!! so that means we get to install it on Saturday (this is me hoping that it will be installed Saturday, when I talked to John about it he said, "We just have to go get it Saturday, doesn't mean it has to be installed." I better get my way!!) So we're working hard on getting everything prepared for the granite.
Sadly after this nothing will be getting done until we save up the money for sheetrock and lights. Then after that we have to save up the money for cabinet doors and drawer fronts. So after the glorious granite post dont expect anything on the "dry" bar for a few weeks.
P.S. The saltwater fish tank wont be complete for a REALLY long time because of how much it costs so the room will be considered done before that.
