"you have to crack eggs to make an omelet"

Things are moving along, a little slowly, but they are moving. I am already a bit behind schedule but I should be able to catch up and finish on time. I can't wait to move in!

The plumber and electrician began work yesterday. They cut a giant hole in the ceiling of the living room and the front bedroom so that they could get the plumbing in for the upstairs bathroom. In the process, they made a HUGE mess... so I added to it and scraped all the flaking paint of the ceiling and walls in the kitchen and my bedroom. Also, I removed all the shoe molding. I was supposed to clean all the walls this week but I don't see much point in cleaning before the plumbers and electricians finish making their mess. Hopefully they will be done early next week.

I get really nervous when I go in to the house because it was so well preserved before and now I have gone and cut giant holes in walls and removed cabintet. I know in the end though it will turn out perfectly and will be beautifully restored.

I cant wait to take a bath!!
