Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Home Demolition, Day 3

I’m having trouble breathing because of all the dust. Today, they cut off all electricity. Tomorrow, they cut off the water. On Monday, a man is supposed to come and take away the oxygen.

Seriously, the work is progressing nicely. The living room has the walnut wainscotting removed, and the surround sound is being installed. Next week, the carpet will be pulled and replaced with a cherry wood floor with a 5″ maple shoe base. New ceiling fan, too. Here are some pics Diane took:
Just look at this furniture arrangement; I simply must have the name of your interior decorator.
Not shown is the dining room which hasn’t been touched yet, but it too will have new cherry floors. The study will also get the cherry floors and a ceiling fan installed since there isn’t any light in that room.

The bathroom has been totally demolished. The fiberglass tub and the toilet are gone. Next week, there will be a new steel and enamel tub, and all the linoleum will be pulled and replaced with big 16″x16″ Maui flavored tiling.

I just love what you have done with the bathroom, it has such a rustic look.Mmmm... is that an open sewer line I smell?

And the foyer had this hideous tiling that’s been ripped up; tonight, there’s a new slate floor that I’m not allowed to walk on, which made getting upstairs tricky. Those stairs in the background have carpet, but it’ll have Carolina Ash WilsonArt laminate installed on it shortly.
And the foyer....... well, it has never looked so good (honest).

Somebody help me.

    The floors are in, the floors are in.

    I’m feeling much better without gritty socks.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
