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 main bedroom suite is getting sanded, however that course of has gone slower than I had anticipated. But when all goes as deliberate, it ought to be completed immediately. That signifies that by the top of the day, staff will likely be out of our home and the venture will likely be fully in my palms from right here on out. That second can’t come fast sufficient.
So I made a decision to look again over my listing of 2025 dwelling objectives and see simply how a lot I’ve gotten completed, and the way a lot I nonetheless need to do. This was an excellent time for it as a result of we’re simply getting into March, which suggests we’re now 1/sixth of the way in which by the yr. I’ve ten extra months to knock off as lots of the gadgets on my 2025 listing as potential.
I used to be very inspired by trying again over my listing and checking off the gadgets which were completed. I feel it was in 2023 that I did these “progress report” posts on a month-to-month foundation to maintain myself centered. It was really an important encouragement and accountability for me. I received’t be doing them month-to-month this yr, however I’d do it each two months or so to maintain myself accountable and motivated.
Because it seems, I’ve gotten quite a bit completed within the first two months of 2025! It doesn’t appear to be I’ve gotten so much completed just because a lot of the work up to now hasn’t been completed within the bed room suite. And let’s face it. The bed room suite is the venture that each one of us wish to see completed, proper? The bed room suite is and would be the “important occasion” of 2025. Nevertheless it’s removed from the one factor on my 2025 listing. In order a evaluate and a two-month progress report, right here’s what I’ve completed up to now in 2025.
And I constructed the steps to the entrance door of the workshop.
And whereas this wasn’t on my authentic listing for the yr, 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 venture, however it’s progress!
And whereas it’s not fairly completed, so I can’t really test it off of the listing but, the flooring are getting sanded now and can (hopefully) be completed by the top of immediately.
And whereas this wasn’t a person line merchandise on my authentic listing, I additionally acquired all the drywall repairs completed within the walk-in closet/laundry room, acquired the partitions primed, and selected a shade for the closet cupboards. FYI, I’m going with Clear Vista on the left. I’d find yourself having it blended at 75%. We’ll see. However the drywall restore and priming was a fairly large venture on this room that wanted to be completed, so I added it to the listing simply so I may cross it off. 😀
I had added that line merchandise to the listing for the bed room as a result of that’s going to be an excellent greater job getting all of that drywall repaired and primed and prepared for wallpaper and wainscoting.
I had undoubtedly hoped to be additional alongside on the bed room suite by now, so I do really feel like I’m a bit behind the schedule that I had deliberate in my head. But in addition, I are typically a bit overzealous and unreasonable with regards to timelines. My Marvel Lady syndrome usually leads me to consider that I can get way more completed in a time period than is definitely potential. In actuality, I feel I’m off to a reasonably good begin on my listing for the primary two months! We’ll test again in the beginning of Could and see how these subsequent two months go.
