    @(you need an account to see links) that's some excellent work there! I love the paneling you put in, gives it a nice comfy feeling. How long did it take you to knock all that out?

    I'll post some stuff up here when I get a chance to take some pics. My fiance and I bought our house about 3 months ago - still in the process of settling in and getting things set up. Most of the stuff I've done has been minor improvements here and there; cosmetic (make it your own) kind of stuff. I want to eventually paint because all the walls are white and a pop of color would be very nice.
    What's my definition of success?
    Creating something no one else can
    Being brave enough to dream big
    Grindin' when you're told to just quit
    Giving more when you got nothin' left

    This is the 2nd time we've redone our living room. I ripped out the brand new carpet (we had just put down) almost a year ago and laid down the matching flooring to the rest of the house (was the husband's request) at the same time I widened our entrainment cubby ripping out about another foot of the wall. I spent about a month trying to get the paint color for the walls. I wanted a metallic silver but it didn't dry properly. Then sealing it made it flat. Painted it again with a texture thinking it would fix the issue with no luck. So I just painted it blue/grey. Crown molding was a chore. I'm not a professional, just a do it yourselfer that watches alot of YouTube. Installing the lights was a pain in the ass in the middle of summer so the attic was like a sauna. And only working during my two days off each week it took longer than it should have. I got about 70% of the paneling done in the last 2 weeks (about 5 days of consistent working on it).

    I tell my self slow progress is better than no progress. And thats the motto I try to live by. Helps me to stress less... I tell myself its working lol.

    Time and money for sure! I'm VERY hesitant about bringing a pressure washer into the basement but my partner helped his dad build his house, and has helped on a few Habitat for Humanity builds so I'm blinding trusting his judgment lol

    I'm finally getting around to painting the living room.
    Finished filling holes. Will caulk tonight and likely paint tomorrow.

    I'm starting on updating our gym.
    It's never had lights... so ran new electrical. Wired a switch and put in two lights.

    Ripped up the carpet. Putting in rubber mats once the painting is done.
    Our new gym equipment is black and yellow. So trying to tie the colors into the room....

    Definitely has a Steelers vibe ahahah.
