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 few days. Sure, the ground in the main bedroom suite is getting sanded, however that course of has gone slower than I had anticipated. But when all goes as deliberate, it must be performed at present. That implies that by the top of the day, staff can be out of our home and the mission can be utterly in my fingers from right here on out. That second can’t come fast sufficient.

So I made a decision to look again over my list of 2025 home goals and see simply how a lot I’ve gotten performed, and the way a lot I nonetheless must do. This was an excellent time for it as a result of we’re simply getting into March, which implies we’re now 1/sixth of the best way by the yr. I’ve ten extra months to knock off as most of the gadgets on my 2025 checklist as attainable.

I used to be very inspired by trying again over my checklist and checking off the gadgets which were performed. I believe it was in 2023 that I did these “progress report” posts on a month-to-month foundation to maintain myself targeted. It was really an important 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 performed within the first two months of 2025! It doesn’t look like I’ve gotten so much performed just because many of the work to date hasn’t been performed within the bed room suite. And let’s face it. The bed room suite is the mission that each one of us need to see performed, proper? The bed room suite is and would be the “predominant occasion” of 2025. Nevertheless it’s removed from the one factor on my 2025 checklist. In order a overview and a two-month progress report, right here’s what I’ve performed 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 mission, nevertheless it’s progress!

And whereas it’s not fairly completed, so I can’t really verify it off of the checklist but, the flooring are getting sanded now and can (hopefully) be performed by the top of at present.

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 coloration 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 mission on this room that wanted to be performed, 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 undoubtedly hoped to be additional alongside on the bed room suite by now, so I do really feel like I’m a bit of behind the schedule that I had deliberate in my head. But additionally, I are usually a bit overzealous and unreasonable in terms of timelines. My Surprise Girl syndrome typically leads me to imagine that I can get way more performed in a time period than is definitely attainable. In actuality, I believe I’m off to a reasonably good begin on my checklist for the primary two months! We’ll verify again initially of Might and see how these subsequent two months go.
