Set backs and Updates

Called the power company today. I have a city street light in my back yard...yes back yard, that I have to pay to keep on $10/mo. I'm having the light cover replaced and the trees trimmed around the wires. We'll see how long that takes to get done.

My contractor backed out, Brian Robinson. His prices were really good but he had issues with another project he is on and can't get to me until mid-January. I can't wait that long.

The yard is a mess but the shed will be put up this week sometime if the weather cooperates.

Seth and I are leaving to go out of town to Bellingham, WA to see Jennifer, Lorrie, and Mom for Christmas. I had hoped to have the closets going by the time I left.

Part of the process.

The wall in the living room kitchen is nearly down. The wood is gorgeous. I'll add pictures below soon.

NOT MUCH PROGRESS

Well, I have only gotten one person to come over and give me an estimate. Either the job is too big or too small, I can't read the contractors.
The Shed-
Jonathan Dudley and his son will be building the shed next week. The shed will be 10 x12 with 8' sides and 9' peak. The squat rack should fit on the back wall with room to get the plates on.

Down payment $1000
Final Payment $1550

I'm feeling a little panicky because I have had some quality time to get things done but just can't get commitments from people.

Margie came over to help me get organized and make some decisions but I still feel overwhelmed.

Here are my plans so far in order of importance:

MASTER BEDROOM:

• CLOSET 1
•  Header raised
• New doors 96" tall x <24" wide, 5 PANEL doors. The space is 45" so I have to figure out how to cut the doors down to size. Margie wants me to go ahead and buy the doors. But now I discover there are "solid" and solid doors. I know, right. The "solid ones are filled with foam and can't be sized easily. The solid doors are very expensive. 
• CLOSET 2
•  has a top and bottom so we are making it all one closet. 
• New door 96" tall x ?? wide, 5 PANEL doors. Again the width is an unusual distance.
• Paint-REPOSE GRAY

The tall doors will be grand though and will allow me to have access to the top of the closet more easily.

And MOVE ALL MY STUFF FROM STORAGE!!
