This Thursday is the last day. My husband is retiring, selling his engineering business after a full career and 29 years of being in charge. It leaves us both wondering and excited.
And it means it's time to really get serious about finishing the ceilings/walls in the house. Christmas pretty much stopped everything. It didn't hurt my feelings particularly to take a break. Now, however, the guest room, formerly our daughter's room, will also serve as an interim engineering office for those times when hubby does consulting.

Remove the plant propagation shelf with all the grow lights. Paint the ceiling and then the walls. Make room for more book shelves. Getting a move on it sits right up there in the
Things I get to do today.
Congratulations to your and your husband. Such an accomplishment. Have a good and successful retirement, too. Where will the plant propagation paraphernalia go?
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh! There will be some help from greenhouse type structures outside. But mostly we are figuring it out as we go--got one month, at least, before I get serious about any seeds.
DeleteCongratulations to you both! As you know my husband retired in August after 30 years working for NASA, but he worked way before that job too! It is a pleasure to have him home, but at first was an adjustment for me, as I had the run of the house all day, now I have to share! He loves it. We are keeping his license up for a couple of years, to see if we need to supplement our income. Good luck on your paint job, sure hope it goes a lot smoother than the last one!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kat. We think we'll like a looser schedule! Planning to ski more and even travel a tiny bit.
DeleteI'm rolling the ceiling since it is regular height, but it is not easy. Got paint on my hands as write to prove it.
Big and exciting changes! I have enjoyed the other room changes you have shared, this one will be no different!
ReplyDeleteOh so happy for your hubby and you! Keep dreaming- and follow them.
