Cider Press Hill

Doesn't look like progress to me.

Day One into the project. It’s a larger one than I realized. How can one room hold so much stuff??!

I forgot there is at least one bookcase worth under the bed.

What I’ve rediscovered: When you want to get rid of stuff without a backward glance, take on a massive project. About two hours into it, pitching things into the trash/give-away bag is a lot easier than trying to figure out what to do with it all. Scarce space is best reserved for things that matter. I am ruthless, hear me roar.

The more I do, the worse it looks. At some point, the trend will reverse and then I’ll know that I’m truly making progress. I haven’t even come close yet.

I’m trying to remind myself that this is fun. This is fun...this is fun...this is fun.

It’s not, but I have a mental photograph, of the end result, tacked on my mind’s bulletin board.

The end result will be fun. I live for the moment.

Kate,
Hey you have a major project underway but that is always a little exciting. Exciting at least to see the outcome even though at times it may be a bit over whelming. Enjoy the process and the results will be that much more rewarding.

Hey Greyhippie. I’m having a pretty good time, really. Things are starting to look better already. I should get the shelves down today. Might even get the paint. Once the painting is finished, I’ll be more than halfway finished. Yay!

Lynn - LOL! That’s how I felt when I first started. Thanks for the good wishes. Maybe I’ll take some pictures....

Steph—Lots and lots of tunes. The walls have been rockin’.
