Halcyon Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 We spent all day working on the garage conversion to homeschool room project. We primed, we painted, we did trim, DH worked on the ceiling, he created a hole in the cement for an air duct....I am exhausted. Seriously, I don't know how in the world people do this for a living. I am in awe. I can barely move. And it's not even done yet. We have to install the lights, the fan, finish the trim, baseboards, and install switchplates and doorknobs. Then I need to put together my Ikea stuff and move in. (Actually, I am looking forward to the 'moving in' part :D) I am having a nice vo*ka lemonade and watching Law and Order tonight. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yup, it's just hard work. Dh did it for a long time. He's used to going at about 200 mph and only in the last few years has slowed down. I'm still in awe thinking about all the things he knows how to do, and do well. Dh used to fall asleep in the recliner about an hour after getting home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof4ks Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Whoo Hoo, that is a great accomplishment for a day! My dad does that for a living, because he enjoys it. Every day is something different, and every project has a challenge. Yep, he is odd, but I love him. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 We are DIYers. It is hard work. You accomplished a TON in a day! It does make you appreciate it so much when you do it yourself though, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make you appreciate it so much when you do it yourself though, doesn't it? Thanks everyone. I am praying that we finish this week. DH (obviously) has a "real" job outside the home, so I don't know how much we'll get done this week....hence our "soft start" to school...we'll just do some work in the dining room this week, but I am going to call our official first day of school the day the room is done and we are moved in :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very light celery white.....i wanted pale, as the room was dark to begin with, and is color is extremely subtle but looks very pretty. Thanks for remembering!:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
