So, I think I’ve opened up a can of worms! No, not
literally. I’m not going fishing! The can of worms, I’m referring to is the
home maintenance one of repair and beautification, something I’ve neglected in
recent years.
If you read last
week's post, you may remember that I spent the previous week, my vacation,
painting my house. That has resulted in the realization that I really needed to
catch up on some other long overdue projects. And these projects are all related,
entangled together with each one leading to two or three more. Thus, my analogy
of the can of worms. I start one project and soon have a list of others.
I’ve replaced the back door; installed one with a window so
we can see out onto the deck, which needs a few minor repairs and treated,
along with the cedar fence. I’ve repaired the door on one of my sheds, so it
actually closes properly! I’ve replaced the front entryway carpet, which was
completely worn out. There was only a thin piece of carpet to cut out around
the edge before the new carpet could be cut and installed. I’ve sealed up
cracks in the driveway. I cut some new trim boards, and attached them, painted
the front door, repaired the gate, and... well, I think you get the picture. Can
you see all the worms?
The good news is, only so many worms will fit in a can.
Problem is, I’m not sure what size can I’m dealing with. I should know
since I’m the one who opened it! But no.
What I do know is I’ve now spent more than two weeks working
on my house and not getting much else done. (Maybe I should have left the can
closed). But the house is looking nice so at least I have something to show for
my effort. And, I think I’m almost done! Thinking can sometimes lead to
trouble though! Could be opening a whole new can of worms! ~
