It’s the kitchen. I can tell that the project is becoming real to me because —

I’m paging through online auctions, and instead of thinking “I could bid on that” I’m saying, “Oh, my. I already have too many of (fill in the blank).”

We walk past a clearance table at Lowe’s after browsing their flooring and cupboard options, notice a toaster oven, and say, “That would really be handy while we’re without a real kitchen. Note: Later on, I ordered that toaster oven online and picked it up in store.

I’ve been setting aside extra miscellaneous items for a garage sale when the whole project is over.

Chuck actually pays attention to the DIY breaks on DIY and HGTV. Sometimes he sees something that we can apply to our project!

Readers, family & friends, this is bound to get crazier before it gets calmer. I’ll keep you informed.
