Renovate or Detonate

That is the heading on some Real Estate signs for homes to be sold, maybe that should have been the sign for our house we purchased 2 years ago, maybe we should have just build a new home for the 3rd time, that was the easy way to go I think. But this house was in the home town of DH (was that Darling Husband or Dick Head), I will let you decide. Anyway we are in a wonderful location, golf course behind us, river about 200 metres from front door, beaches within 500 metres, what more could you want and only a 6 minute drive to work for me. A house that doesn't need too much renovating, NO not around here. Anyway, lately we have been renovating our ensuite, the downstairs entry, laundry and other ensuite. You start off will all the enthusiasm, then you hit the what the hell are we doing stage, that lasts a while why the work is getting done, then you get to the nearly done bit and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, now this is a huge black tunnel, but I can see the light. I spent from Friday, all day Saturday (well DH did help when he got home from work around 3.30pm), then first thing Sunday morning painting both ensuites and laundry. We guttered both ensuites, re-tiled all the floors in the laundry, entry and tiles both ensuites, now the painting is done, I have to remember to get some quotes for the glass shower doors, then we need to get the sliding doors fixed and gyprock the outside wall on our ensuite, then paint again. I haven't got the new toilets, vanities, or laundry tub back in yet, hopefully that will be done by the end of the week. So with 5 adults and down to 1 toilet from 3, things can get a bit hectic around the only surviving bathroom. Then DS #2 brings 2 friends home for the night, they had spent all day Sunday with the couple and then decided that they could have dinner and stay the night, WTF was he thinking, that's 7 adults and 1 toilet. Anyway I am back at work today, it is my bosses 60th Birthday (11 Sept.) so a Manager and I am taking him to lunch to celebrate.

On the knitting front, up to the neck and armbands on the black vest and about 3/4 through the first scarf which is an order (not doing that again, I am pretty selfish and would just like to knit what I want to and when I want to). My DH always says "She doesn't share well or play well with others" and that can be true. But hey, I don't care.

A first for me, I didn't do a stitch of knitting all weekend, I think I really wore myself out with all the painting, but I do hope to catch up a bit tonight, that is if I can stay awake long enough.
