2025 Home Goals – Two Month Progress Report

This weekend, I used to be feeling a bit down and anxious in regards to the lack of progress over the previous couple of days. Sure, the ground in the master suite suite is getting sanded, however that course of has gone slower than I had anticipated. But when all goes as deliberate, it ought to be carried out immediately. That signifies that by the tip of the day, employees will likely be out of our home and the venture will likely be fully in my palms from right here on out. That second can’t come fast sufficient.

So I made a decision to look again over my checklist of 2025 dwelling targets and see simply how a lot I’ve gotten carried out, and the way a lot I nonetheless should do. This was time for it as a result of we’re simply coming into March, which implies we’re now 1/sixth of the best way by way of the yr. I’ve ten extra months to knock off as most of the objects on my 2025 checklist as doable.

I used to be very inspired by wanting again over my checklist and checking off the objects which have been carried out. I feel it was in 2023 that I did these “progress report” posts on a month-to-month foundation to maintain myself centered. It was really an amazing encouragement and accountability for me. I received’t be doing them month-to-month this yr, however I would do it each two months or so to maintain myself accountable and motivated.

Because it seems, I’ve gotten rather a lot carried out within the first two months of 2025! It doesn’t seem to be I’ve gotten so much carried out just because many of the work to date hasn’t been carried out within the bed room suite. And let’s face it. The bed room suite is the venture that every one of us wish to see carried out, proper? The bed room suite is and would be the “foremost occasion” of 2025. But it surely’s removed from the one factor on my 2025 checklist. In order a evaluation and a two-month progress report, right here’s what I’ve carried out to date in 2025.

And I constructed the steps to the entrance door of the workshop.

And whereas this wasn’t on my authentic checklist for the yr, I had some much-needed gutters put in on the workshop.

I had hardwood flooring put in all through the bed room suite. This wasn’t a DIY venture, nevertheless it’s progress!

And whereas it’s not fairly completed, so I can’t really test it off of the checklist but, the flooring are getting sanded now and can (hopefully) be carried out by the tip of immediately.

And whereas this wasn’t a person line merchandise on my authentic checklist, I additionally obtained all the drywall repairs completed within the walk-in closet/laundry room, obtained the partitions primed, and selected a shade for the closet cupboards. FYI, I’m going with Clear Vista on the left. I would find yourself having it combined at 75%. We’ll see. However the drywall restore and priming was a reasonably large venture on this room that wanted to be carried out, so I added it to the checklist simply so I may cross it off. 😀

I had added that line merchandise to the checklist for the bed room as a result of that’s going to be a good larger job getting all of that drywall repaired and primed and prepared for wallpaper and wainscoting.

I had positively hoped to be additional alongside on the bed room suite by now, so I do really feel like I’m somewhat behind the schedule that I had deliberate in my head. But in addition, I are usually a bit overzealous and unreasonable on the subject of timelines. My Surprise Girl syndrome usually leads me to imagine that I can get much more carried out in a time frame than is definitely doable. In actuality, I feel I’m off to a fairly good begin on my checklist for the primary two months! We’ll test again initially of Might and see how these subsequent two months go.
