This weekend, I used to be feeling a bit down and anxious concerning the lack of progress over the previous couple of days. Sure, the ground in the master suite suite is getting sanded, however that course of has gone slower than I had anticipated. But when all goes as deliberate, it needs to be carried out right this moment. That implies that by the top of the day, staff will probably be out of our home and the mission will probably be utterly in my arms from right here on out. That second can’t come fast sufficient.
So I made a decision to look again over my list of 2025 home goals and see simply how a lot I’ve gotten carried out, and the way a lot I nonetheless need to do. This was a very good time for it as a result of we’re simply coming into March, which implies we’re now 1/sixth of the best way via the 12 months. I’ve ten extra months to knock off as lots of the gadgets on my 2025 checklist as potential.
I used to be very inspired by trying again over my checklist and checking off the gadgets which have been carried out. I feel it was in 2023 that I did these “progress report” posts on a month-to-month foundation to maintain myself targeted. It was really a terrific encouragement and accountability for me. I received’t be doing them month-to-month this 12 months, however I would do it each two months or so to maintain myself accountable and motivated.
Because it seems, I’ve gotten rather a lot carried out within the first two months of 2025! It doesn’t look like I’ve gotten lots carried out just because many of the work to this point hasn’t been carried out within the bed room suite. And let’s face it. The bed room suite is the mission that each one of us wish to see carried out, proper? The bed room suite is and would be the “major occasion” of 2025. However it’s removed from the one factor on my 2025 checklist. In order a evaluate and a two-month progress report, right here’s what I’ve carried out to this point in 2025.
And I constructed the steps to the entrance door of the workshop.
And whereas this wasn’t on my unique checklist for the 12 months, I had some much-needed gutters put in on the workshop.
I had hardwood flooring put in all through the bed room suite. This wasn’t a DIY mission, however it’s progress!
And whereas it’s not fairly completed, so I can’t really verify it off of the checklist but, the flooring are getting sanded now and can (hopefully) be carried out by the top of right this moment.
And whereas this wasn’t a person line merchandise on my unique checklist, I additionally received the entire drywall repairs completed within the walk-in closet/laundry room, received the partitions primed, and selected a shade for the closet cupboards. FYI, I’m going with Clear Vista on the left. I would find yourself having it combined at 75%. We’ll see. However the drywall restore and priming was a reasonably large mission on this room that wanted to be carried out, so I added it to the checklist simply so I may cross it off. 😀
I had added that line merchandise to the checklist for the bed room as a result of that’s going to be a good larger job getting all of that drywall repaired and primed and prepared for wallpaper and wainscoting.
I had positively hoped to be additional alongside on the bed room suite by now, so I do really feel like I’m just a little behind the schedule that I had deliberate in my head. But additionally, I are usually a bit overzealous and unreasonable in the case of timelines. My Surprise Girl syndrome typically leads me to imagine that I can get much more carried out in a time frame than is definitely potential. In actuality, I feel I’m off to a reasonably good begin on my checklist for the primary two months! We’ll verify again at first of Could and see how these subsequent two months go.
