Tuckpointing - the very name sounds fussy and expensive.

Meanwhile, wonder what you think of this? It’s fashion week in Paris!

I was going to be all platitude-y, but I thought better of it. However, I DO think you’re secretly thrilled to have all these projects, you just don’t want all your friends to think you’re crazy.

Excellent interview and great shots of your pieces. I’m wearing my “proud Mom” look!

I can’t offer sympathy (we are in the middle of major work here, with a long way to go), but I have lots of empathy. Moving is hard work - I had total amnesia with this last one and had completely forgotten just how much hassle it all is. Whether you move to another country, a new state, or next door, you still have to pack up and move every single item you own. If you move a long distance, it’s a ton of work, but you get it done all at once. When you move in town, it seems easier, but the process can get strung out forever.

Plus we are adding a bathroom, adding on to the back of the house, gutting the kitchen and two bedrooms, refinishing or installing new wood floors, and painting what remains. It can be completely overwhelming, especially when you’re living through it. I just keep telling myself it will all be worth it.

And after this, I think we can truly never move again - with the current state of the economy, we’ll never be able to afford it - ! But I’ll have the fifth version of my dream house (every house we’ve ever bought has been my dream house), so we will be happy.

Put me down for painting too since we have company staying with us when you are actually moving.

Are you sure you really want to help move, because I can put you to work! Seriously, that’s a sweet offer. How about you help me paint the new house?!
