Alan Miller's daughter accomplished at least as much work on her house in six months as her parents did in almost 30 years of working on their house.
The final week of the old year was filled with ups and downs. Up the stairs to measure for crown molding, down the stairs to cut it, back up the stairs to install it and measure the next cut, and then down again.for tools and supplies, was to spend a day on my knees stripping blackened varnish from her dining room floor.
It also helps that she hasn’t had to live there amid the dust and paint smells, and that she hasn’t had three little girls running around while she’s trying to strip wallpaper or floors. My bride and I would send our kids to Grandma and Grandpa’s house for the weekend when we were doing some dirty work like stripping varnish from floors. Twice that happened, coincidentally, on our August wedding anniversary, and we both were so focused on old-house renovation that we forgot our anniversary.
There will be plenty of work to do in the future, but the big things on her immediate punch list are done, and she can live there while she continues to work on fine touches.Insulation and storm door replacement among the Miller family household projects
