After six years, still remodeling.

We have contractors in the house again. The only part of the house that was not remodeled in the six years we have lived here was the Ohana. The previous owners used this area as a game room. We use it as guest quarters. It is in the end house off the kitchen and opposite the remainder of the bedrooms and living area. It has a mini-kitchen, and there is a bathroom just outside of the door in the utility room. We were not going to touch this area but then the ceiling started to fall down. The old ceiling was acoustical tile nailed to slats. This, of course, leads to a complete remodel of the living space. The new ceiling will be laminate hickory flooring nailed to plywood. All of the walls had wallpaper, and it will be removed and painted. We are having slat wall panels installed on all four walls to make it easier to hang all of Candi’s paintings, so in a way, it will be a combination of guest quarters and gallery. I have to leave before it will be done, so over Spring break, I get to help put the Ohana back together. Then the entire house will have been remodeled. It sounds like that will be time to sell it and move again. I surely hope that does not happen. Candi says this is her forever home. I never expect to have a forever home, so I will not be disappointed if we move again. It will not be Costa Rica. I am thinking about looking into Portugal.
