Checking In

So … you may ask where I’ve been.  Together with my husband, we’ve been living the life of my clients.  We have sold our home (in three days) in San Diego and purchased an ugly duckling “new” home in San Diego in the Ranch Bernardo area.  We are in staying in a hotel in Orange County.  You asked, “why Orange County”, well it’s because my husband is presently working in downtown Los Angeles and we also have a few children and precious grand children in the area.

With the home we purchased we are in the middle of undergoing a major remodel.  Presently the “new” home is now down to the “sticks” as we have removed walls, are redoing all of the electrical, some of the plumbing, and installing air conditioning.  All of the carpet, linoleum and tile floors have been removed and the ceilings have been scraped  You can just imagine, it presently looks like a bomb has gone off  in our “new” home.  Next we should start putting things back together . . . can’t wait to see that happen!  I’ve been capturing pictures of the process and will share with all of you over the next couple of weeks.

We make weekly, and sometimes twice a week trips to San Diego to oversee the process, select items for the house, see our other children and grandchildren, and to meet with my clients.

 

Being in the design industry, and always on a mission to help my clients, I’ve decided to include you on our remodel adventure.  I will be making posts about our process and what we’ve learned along the way.  We’ve now been in the Residence Inn in Anaheim Hills for five weeks, and with probably four more weeks to go, we’ve certainly gained a lot of knowledge.

Thank you for your patience with us as we go through this process.  Please leave me a remark if you have any words of wisdom for living through a remodel.

Sharing is Caring
