Are We There Yet?

     Rememeber when you were a kid, driving in the car with your family?   It seemed to take forever to get anywhere, especially when you were going somewhere that you were very excited to get to. 

     Remodeling is the same.  Why does it seem that it takes so long to get to the end?  Maybe because it does.   There are so many small things that have to be done by each trade that they have to return for so the project can more forward. 

     For example, additional blocking for the plumbing that is put in by the carpenter, outlets may have to be moved by the electrician so that they line up with a faucet valve that has been installed by the plumber, the drywallers may need additional backing to screw the drywall to, and the list can go on.

     As tedious as these things may seem, they are all important to the final outcome of the finished product. 

     Keep your eye on the target, there is a light at the end of the tunnel...just keep looking for it,

it's there...somewhere.
