Things have slowed down in regards to work being done on the house, but we are ramping back up to going full steam ahead!
For the first 3 months of construction, we were spending around $1000 per day, so you can image how financially exhausting that can be. And, there is the unknown cost of the tax man that has been looming over us as well (That is one thing I hate about owning a business…you never really know how much you’re going to be indebt to the government at the end of the year). Stefan has his taxes all hammered out now, and I’m in CA working with my accountant to get the last few details of my taxes finalized, so it’s time to get back to work on the house (aka: resume spending $$$)!
I was feeling like nothing was getting done for the past couple of months, so I have set up a daily “To Do” list that has really helped Stefan and I to motivate. With such a big project as building a house, I would often find myself wandering around in circles trying to figure out what to do and then just giving up because I couldn’t figure out where I should start. So, I give Stefan and myself small tasks to do each day, and it has helped resume progress on the house. For example, some of the little things we have done: Hung artwork in the master bedroom, built and installed surfboard racks, installed light fixtures, hung mirror in downstair bathroom, etc.
I’m totally a list person :).
