It Is A Process

We are finishing up the last bathroom this weekend!  Tedious work takes a patient man.  And I am very grateful.

I’ve not always loved this process and that it has taken us 6 1/2 years from beginning to …well, I’m not sure there’s ever and end to renovations.  But, there is an end in sight to the major ones anyway.  

I will say that it has grown us as we are faced with making several decisions all at once, stretched us in ways I’d rather not remember, but it has also brought our children a ton of skill sets that we would have never had the opportunity for if it wasn’t for this process. 

They all have had their hands in each project from busting out entire walls to make a room bigger, painstakingly placing every floor and wall tiles in the up and downstairs, taking it one room at a time, and all while we added a few more babies, cooking over campfires, washing dishes in a camp sink, and bathing little ones in a trough (I’m not kidding!)
