Hello Liam, Your post was very encouraging! I have been personally going through, can we do this, The costs involved, the surprises involved, my husband would much rather look the complete opposite end whilst I otoh love doing remodelings, etc. I *used* to be able to handle this but unfortunate circumstances have changed that for me... I am truly hoping things really look up *sooner than soon*... because if it does, that means I'll be able to do what I have to do on my own. Like you, I'm new to *major* undertakings, but every bone in me just knows that I can do this whilst my husband looks the other way. He was born & raised in NYC (Manhattan), he's all city and apartment, life he says is so much simpler. I was born/raised in a house with a very very handy father... he was one of those Union construction workers, as was my grandfather for many, many years... 48 years to be precise.... but... I wanted to mention that I lost the hyperlink to your website. The vinyl that you have laid down, I absolutely *love* the green colour. It's very soothing, relaxing and definetly a room one could easily lose themselves in for hours on end! IT's beautiful! You really did a fantastic job! You deserve much more than compliments! You did it! You went the whole 9 yards to prove to those of us who are on a see-saw, that we can do it and overcome any challenges that come our way! So... Liam.... What's your *N E X T* project?! *smile* ~Heidi~
