My Remodel

I'm a log cabin. I'm a cute little log cabin. I function; I keep the rain out (except that one leak). I have a plumbing issue that needs some work. And the kitchen could use a little updating, new hardware, stuff like that. There isn't much to be fixed.

But the Master doesn't want a cute log cabin, he wants a castle. And he has a plan to turn my little cabin into a castle. He's only shown me little bits here and there of the plan, but it looks AWESOME! It will start with a lot of demolition; it won't be pretty. Then additions, oh the additions. I have no idea what is going where or who is doing what, but additions are going up. And the hardware in the kitchen, long gone, along with the rest of the kitchen.

But sometimes I get so anxious to have the castle NOW, that I take on too many remodels at the same time. Have you ever lived in a house that is being ripped apart and put back together all at the same time? I haven't and I never want to. It doesn't feel good for the house, those living in it, or the neighbors. Not to mention it's happening under my direction and not the Masters. I haven't even seen the whole plan!

Time to back off, look at my cute little cabin and smile at the small improvements that have gone up this last year. It's nice not having the leak in the roof anymore. I can't wait to see what's next.
