Thankful Thursday

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

I’m thankful our second remodel is in progress. This time they will be doing the upstairs flooring and both bathrooms. They will have a complete makeover. They are currently working on the downstairs bathroom and laundry room.

We learned that when you’re going to remodel you need to do everything. We didn’t do that and we’re going back and correcting that. We promise before and after shots. We are most pleased with the crews that are working on our home.

What are you thankful for today?

  1. I’ve always thought it would be fun to totally gut the inside of my house and start from scratch. Of course, workers expect to get paid for this kind of thing so that plan is on hold for a while…lol
    Look forward to seeing your before and after.

    • We’re doing it in pieces so it’s manageable. The dust is everywhere, but we’re doing just fine with the disruption. 🙂

  2. Wow, that is a big project, but it will be great when it is all finished!

    I am so excited for you, Sandee. Have a blessed day, my friend.🤗

    • We have two full baths upstairs and one downstairs. We’re happy about that. 🙂

    • I couldn’t believe I couldn’t see that until they did the first part. What a difference it made to the bathroom and laundry room downstairs. 🙂

  4. A dear friend is near the end of her partial-house remodel, and I am sure that I wouldn’t be able to hold it together during the ruckus!
    Kudoes to you.

    How exciting for you and Zane, Sandee! Happy Thursday!

    • We are excited about it for sure. It’s going to be very beautiful when it’s done. 🙂

  6. Sandee OMDs and OMCs are you and Zane living in your home during all this. I know it will be amazing.
    I recall 2006 we had a major first floor reno…including refinishing floors dust was EVERYWHERE FOR FUREVER. Hugs

    • The folks that planned the work realizes we’re living here and are working to make the impact as minimal as possible. They are doing great on that count. Hugs. 🙂

    Hoping your remodel project goes well and is problem free. Having lived through a major one, I don’t envy you but am confident you’ll go through it with loads of grace and patience. Best of luck!

    • We keep our eye on the end result. The company we have doing this is awesome and know how to get things done without affecting us anymore than needed. 🙂

        You’re very lucky. Nearly everyone I know who’s taken on a remodel these days is inconsolable during the process.

    Remodel? My peep says all he wants is a good model.

    • We did a lot of packing though. Just have to get it from the garage and put it back where it belongs. All the furniture is being stored. 🙂

    Remodel! I wish I could do a total gut job on my house, but alas it is too expensive right now. Plus the trades people are not available in the middle of nowhere! Thankfully the “bones” are ok, though the footprint of the kitchen would have been nice to re-arrange. I wanted to remove the peninsula but I discovered the cabinetry was attached directly to the studs and almost impossible to remove. I figured it was do everything all at once or just redo the floors and paint. So, I have “postponed” the remodel but the interior looks totally different. I have gone from the 1960s to the 2020s. I’ll be glad when my son and I have finished though. I would LOVE to see photos of your changes! Thanks for visiting us and Marv sends his love!

    • It brightens the home up when you go from the 60s to the 20s. It’s wonderful. Love to all and a smooch to Marv. 🙂

    • I’m glad you can see it. I can see some of your vision too. We’re a wonderful pair. 🙂

    • It’s a bit of a disruption, but it’s worth it. Happy Thursday, my friend. 🙂

  12. I think you are the first person I have ever heard that has not hated the disruption! But that’s good! I also can’t wait to see before and after!

    • We don’t like the dust, but we know it’s worth a bit of inconvenience. 🙂

  13. So glad you have good work people for your major project ~ Best of luck to you ~ Xo

    Lots of love and hugs to you ~ Xos

    Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days ~

    • They are wonderful. We couldn’t be happier with the folks that are working on our home. 🙂

    • So far it’s not been that bad. It sure is exciting to see the beautiful changes. 🙂

    Good for you! 💞 We moved into our latest home in 2005… The place had to be gutted and totally remodeled. How thankful I am for all the planning, prep and work Hubby did to make it happen! Have fun! xo

  15. Oh my, that is exciting!! It’s always such a mess, but the end result is usually worth it (hopefully). I’m trying to update some of my decorating, but it’s a slow process since Entrepreneur and I have different ideas! Hope to see pictures of the finished effort. 💜

    • Our downstairs bathroom is fabulous. I’ll have a post on the bathroom and laundry room next Thursday. 🙂

    • They are redoing the entire house. Next year the kitchen. It’s wonderful. 🙂
