This is coming in very late. Almost half way through February. January was a weird month, time-wise. But here I am to again update you on house progress from the previous month. We’re definitely moving at a slower pace, but still trying to finish a few things.

We’ve re-assessed our master list of projects and have them roughly lined out until Spring/Summer 2022. Some are seasonal and some are just improvements we’ve been waiting on/were never a priority. But overall it doesn’t seem too overwhelming and we’re giving ourselves some grace if they slide back on the list. Last month we accomplished:

• Hanging art/distributing some decor after the holiday decor came down
• Installed the back up sump pump (powered off city water pressure, we’ll still have pump capabilities even if we lose power) with an alarm
• Installed all the piping (circled in red in the picture below), electrical, and ports/hoses (they store in the walls!) for the central vac system
• Hung a few sheets of drywall to accommodate the central vac install in the basement

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

And that’s about it. At our new speed it feels really nice to have a mix of project work to keep us motivated and relaxing time to balance it out. 2018, 2019, and 2020 were very hard-core focused on completing one project after another. February will be another low project month. It’s a short month and we’re just not killing ourselves to get something crossed off the list.
