new begginings
new begginings What a wonderful day! I suppose all days are good just some better than others. Today started out with my furnace giving me the cold shoulder: a plugged exhaust vent shut er all down and I awoke to a crisp 45 degree house! I like cold weather but prefer it to be<b> outdoors </font></b>rather than in doors! A service call from the furnace company got me up and running again and left me about $120.00 poorer! A silver lining exists: check the roof exhaust next time to see if it is plugged and save the service call! Today I will concentrate on new beginnings. I bought this ole house here in Winona with the intent to renovate it over the next few years. This will be my 6th project and I am hoping my limited skill sets can overcome the challenges that lay ahead. It will be a live in renovation: that entails living in a mess and doing without a great many creature comforts! Doing interior demolition is always a dusty dirty job. I am slowly removing plaster and laff: I had hoped to find decent plaster behind the old 1970 vintage paneling adorning the walls. No such luck! It looks like i will be doing a fair amount of sheet rocking to get things back in order! To give myself some respite and voyeuristic entertainment I have become active on this site again. One can actually learn quite a bit about people here and learn about one's self if you pay attention. Life is about growth and learning experiences. Everyday one should go forth with the intent of enriching other's lives as well as being enriched by the knowing of others. Everyday offers a chance at a new beginning and fresh start. Today I met a great service technician who takes pride in his work and he enriched my life with his positive attitude. He shared knowledge with me regarding furnace care during a renovation. For that I am grateful. New beginnings often come in overlooked possibility's. If one looks for the positive it can generally be found in the simple things. New beginnings are the positives that can enrich our lives, They do not always lead to success but they will always lead to new understandings. |
