Tick Tick Tick...........

Renovations on the bedroom are much more turle's pace than I think they should be. I am always this way w/any updating or construction. Naturally, I immediately find fault w/the contractors, but it really is my own perception that needs adjusting.

We had gas logs installed today. I'm never hauling wood and starting a fire. Never. And less likely to clean the crap up after it's all burned. Traditional fireplace, however romantic blah blah blah are highly inefficient. The gas logs are easy, there's not clean up, and they actually heat a room! And there's no waiting for all the embers to die off before being able to go to bed.
So, that was a slam-dunk and I was very happy when I got home and they were installed.

My elation was dashed when I went to check on the bedroom progress. I knew, deep down, it had to look worse before it looks better.......but........but.........oy. The lighting was ancient, and the wiring worse. So the update of the lights, meant upgraded wiring....which means parts of the ceiling and walls are ripped up.

There is still a week to go before replastering and painting HAVE to take place. I mean - carpet and a new bed are being delivered next Thursday. Guests arrive on Friday. EEEEK.
