Remont 4
Well, the sheetrock is finally going up! All of a sudden, all of the apartments look so much smaller than before. I can’t believe it, but it does look like it will be over in the next 2-3 months. I know, some people are just starting at this point, but right now - the contractor is talking about finishing up early. And it does feel like the process is almost over. All of a sudden - I have to think about paint (the absolutely last thing on my mind, and yet another item where there is way more choices than I ever wanted), tiles (urrrgh - did I mention how much I hate choosing), moldings on the floors / windows / ceilings (seriously - in my 10 years of living in my current apartment I did not even realize that I had no moldings around my windows and somehow I survived), etc. Did I also mention that I hate the entire finished project at this point? So maybe I’ll just sell it when it’s over or rent out the whole thing, and just stay in my apartment? Although I actually met a lot of the neighbors on the street already, and everyone is being so friendly and nice, and there are lots of kids the same age as my kids, and there is a lovely front yard / back yard for things to be planted in… But I feel like I’ve made so many mistakes along the way that I just want to start all over now - if only I could get another $300K…
And yes, the one of the photographs is the way the backyard looks now. You know, there was an absolutely lovely rose bush and a lilac bush growing there prior to the beginning of the whole process. Somehow, I don't think either one of them have survived.
Anyway, here it goes…
