I have actually experienced the last two weekends without working on any home related projects. It has felt absolutely wonderful. Are you surprised as I am to hear me say such a thing? The bathroom being done is incredibly rewarding. The phone is ringing during the week at Thompson Remodeling and Spring is in the air. Bottom line - enjoying the projects is even more enjoyable than completing our own projects. Happy homemaking!
