Let me inform you one thing. Accountability is a strong factor. The very last thing I needed to do yesterday was go into the house fitness center and clear up that mess, however understanding that I had advised all of you that I’d be checking in additional often and exhibiting my progress to maintain me on monitor is all of the motivation I wanted to cease dragging my ft and get in there and make issues occur.
And that’s precisely what I did! Bear in mind the state of the house fitness center yesterday morning?
I received all the trash cleared out, instruments gathered collectively, paint cans gathered, and so on. And now it appears to be like like this…
I didn’t clear the ground but as a result of I nonetheless want to put in the recessed lights, which would require me to chop bigger holes within the drywall, and that may create extra mud.
I’ve six lights to put in — 4 in the principle a part of the room, after which two within the closet space.
There’s additionally no want in cleansing the ground within the dwelling fitness center till the ground within the rest room is completed. Till the, I’ll simply maintain maintain monitoring mud onto the house fitness center ground.
I additionally received the toilet all cleaned up, instruments and provides gathered and arranged, and the ground prepared for tiling to be accomplished.
So I’m feeling very motivated to get in there and see what I can get finished right this moment. My purpose is to get all the tiling finished within the subsequent two days, after which have the ground utterly grouted and completed by the top of the week.
I actually did contemplate the suggestion that so lots of you needed to rent out the tiling. However I’m going to present it yet another go and see what progress I could make. I’m additionally going to make use of the suggestion that a few you needed to put on two and even three pairs of the skinny disposable gloves. That method when the outer pair tears, the mortar received’t be on my pores and skin, and I can simply substitute the outer layer.
I feel that plan would possibly work out and save my poor arms, which nonetheless aren’t again to regular from the final time I tiled, which was virtually every week in the past. They really feel fairly good so long as I maintain coconut oil on them (which is just about the one moisturizer I take advantage of), however as quickly as I wash my arms or they get dry once more, they begin to harm. However they’re much higher now, so I’d relatively not have to return to sq. one by not defending my arms whereas I do the remainder of the tile.
Along with clearing out the mess and cleansing up a bit, I additionally made two grasp “to do” lists for every room to maintain me on monitor. I do a lot better with massive initiatives, and really feel like I keep extra motivated, if I can have precise lists written down the place I can test objects off and see my progress. Right here’s what my lists appear like, and so they’re probably not in any form of order:
