Reno in process.. or is it?

I don't think I could have foreseen the lack of funds we'd have and the lack of time.

The renovation, aka overhauling, of our entire house is slow going. Sometimes you need a little positive attitude to get you through. Christmas just ended, it's a new year and we have many of the same goals, and more new ones.
