Comments (51)I love spicy chai tea. I don't drink coffee at all, but in the winter, I usually have a cup of hot tea every day to warm me, as well as my hands, up. We were in Ireland in the fall and the tea was so delicious every where. I loved how it came served in a teapot every where we went. Toward the end of our trip, I found this gorgeous teapot at a small pottery shop. At that point, I'd already bought quite a few wool sweaters, an expensive painting, and a few other things at a different pottery shop. I didn't have room left in my bags, and I didn't want to spend the money on shipping this one small thing. I didn't get it. After we got home, I told dh I regretted it - this artist's style was quite unique, very colorful and abstract. He actually called and ordered me one for Christmas - that was quite a surprise! While I normally drink either Tazo, Stash or Trader Joe's tea, I decided I wanted to try using loose tea leaves like I had in Ireland. Finally, just last week, I stopped at a tea and spice shop and bought a bag of Chai and a bag of green tea leaves. I made my first cup on Friday and it was delicious! It was fun serving myself out of my new little teapot. I also really like iced tea but never make it at home. I've been meaning to, but just haven't bothered. It is my drink of choice though if I'm out at a restaurant in the summer. While I do like some sweet tea, I prefer my iced tea unsweetened, with just a touch of sugar and lemon. Daisy, I"ll have to try the Tazo zen tea. I'm still going to use bags for when I'm in a hurry, but my loose tea when I'm relaxing!...See MoreI've lost all motivation as a diy'er
Comments (47)Saw you other thread and just came here to read your OP. I haven't read all the replies, but the best options for a DIY jumpstart in my book area 1) get some help -- friends, family or paid help, to get you over a hurdle and feeling like progress is being made. I'm sure it's been pointed out that you can hire demo help cheap or might find a taker for the old cabinets who will take them out as the cost of getting them or even pay something to get the cabinets, just less for having to remove them. Maybe you can make a little money and some progress at the same time -- or at least get someone else to remove the cabinets while you finish your wiring (which would cost a lot more to hire out). Clearing the slate and getting started on progress you can see should really help with motivation. 2) Take a break. Get out of the house and go do something else. At a minimum, get out in the yard. Go to a park, visit some friends, Do something you enjoy and haven't done while you've been spending those hours doing things that aren't showing yet. I would not move in new appliances -- the chances for things getting damaged and making you feel worse are too great - at least in my world. Try not to log hours if it is making you more tired or frustrated. It is a huge job, especially if you have a day job, family and other commitments. Remind yourself it isn't a race, but you are saving money and adding value with everything you do. You are doing things that most of us who pay others to do the work don't do -- like that audio wiring. You are going to have more than average when you are done, but t is going to take more than average to get there. Realize there will be baby steps and some that seem non-existent -- like your wiring, but others will be huge leaps. Most of those come later. BIG improvement already with removing the dropped ceiling and lighting already. Look up and see how good the rest will look. You're doing great things. In the meantime, you can borrow my mantra -- Patience and Perseverance And if a bet will help -- I have a house full of my own stuff that has gotten out of kilter from lack of time, stuff from my mom's memory care apartment, stuff from my dad's apartment and stuff from their house together before health issues separated them as well as the last details of my kitchen undone, a master bath with bare walls (no paper, no paint), a tub that leaks, cabinets I hate and a shower I can't wait to replace but all put off while I dealt with my parents the last couple of years. We just had the memorial service Tuesday and I'm catching my breath and dealing with a graduating high school senior. I have to finish clearing my dad's apartment this weekend and then i can START to work on sorting and getting my house back this summer. I bet you will finish your kitchen before I finish these projectsr. Winner buys the other dinner. (Maybe I should just send you a gift card now -- LOL). It only looks easy on TV.

Comments (21)Haybarn. I LOVE IT!!! Thinking on size my garage inside is 30 by 30 and that is not all that big. There is a carport on one side 12 by 30. adding under cover storage space. But I have taken it over for my new shaded patio area to be. Right now it is only a vision with the table and chairs and glider moved over there and a couple planters to be sitting empty. When I used to have to watch my internet usage I would go online and get all the scoop quickly then go off line and answer my emails and any forum comments I wanted to make. Then back on line to send and post comments Saved a lot of online time and I could write my email answers and forum comments at leisure. I would now be lost with out my always on internet. Since I gave up the DISH TV I only get TV through the internet or watch movies from the library. Eventually the library will run out of movies I have not seen. Very happy to have a gift of Prime through Amazon to watch even more movies. The weather is still too good to be inside watching much TV but that snow is coming. This morning my front tree leaves are all covering the ground again. I will finish neighbors leaves because her trees are leafless. Mine still have a long way to go. It was 31 degrees this morning so I am in no hurry to get out there to start raking. Everything is also very wet from the early fog which is gone now but left it's wet behind. The glass on the window is actually glass on a window hanging in front of the dinning room window. It blocks the glare from the white garage roof just across from the house. I was considering putting glass directly on the smaller panes of the laundry room door. I have a lace curtain there now. This door window looks directly into the guest bathroom and since I do not usually shut the door to the laundry room some one coming to the out side door could catch me sitting on the toilet. OOPS. It has happened. I will only be able to use smaller light weight glass dishes and a lot of textured glass. I do not want to block any light or as little as possible but I want to create privacy. Add this to my list of projects. PLUS 4 more valance like glass on windows to hang in the living room windows. My brain never quits....See MoreSue_va
