Looks like a lil plateau.... the work on the renovation has slowed as we wait for contractors to do their thing... which atm is walls and ceiling up. We are down to projects like stripping doors and windows of paint, cleaning and painting radiators and refinishing the chimney. All jobs that are less physically taxing. Oh yeah painting my door for the side entrance that we bough but is not installed.
*Sighs* I am still exhausted. But today I go looking through paint from the old house may have enough for one room and my husband loved the color, plus it saves us money. After 9k for cabinets and countertops I have to make concessions.
I also have a couple pet projects which is to revive the old pantry cabinets with a new coat of paint. $40 change instead of $1500 for new pantry cabinets that match my new kitchen cabinets. And making a pull out trash and recycle bin for the kitchen. I do not like the under the cabinet trash drawers. If they get to stinking so do the cabinets and the bacteria that could spread... nah separate is fine with me.
For now I have to get the kids motivated still 8 days of school left.

Wow, sounds like you have a lot of work going on and lots more to do! I used to live in a house about 150 years old, over the course of several years we restored the whole thing top to bottom. Patched and restored the old plaster as much as possible and kept all the old woodwork and stuff that gave it that Victorian character. It had a grand oak staircase and beautiful pocket doors. Lots of work and sweat equity but it was worth it. Where we live now is newer, a bigger and "nicer" house but I miss the charm, character and history of the old place. Nice job on your loss, good luck with your continued renovations.

We tore out all the horsehair plaster, as the house had 0 insulation and this house is close to 200 years old. Old New England Style home with attached carriage barn. late 90s they converted the lower floor of the barn to a small 600 sq ft shop and sold glassware and the like. Now we run our board game business out of it. But the rest of the house has seen little love in the near 50 years my in-laws lived in it. Unless you call Elmer's gluing sampler wallpaper scraps onto the walls an upgrade. So, we are going this for insulation purposes mostly. Restoration is is not key. Salvaging what we can that is not already damaged beyond repair and patching the walls and ceiling would not have saved them. I fear that blowing in insultion would have popped the plaster off some of the walls and ceilings would have fallen.
