BEFORE

 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Luke 14

Home Renovation: James Hardie Siding, Before (Part 1)

BEFORE:  Work has been delayed for over a month!  We are finally scheduled to have our James Hardie siding installed this week -- Lord willing.  The multi-step process of our siding installation will finally begin, yay! 

A run of many days with uncooperative weather (plus a lack of available workers) have pushed us further and further behind from even beginning this installation. Those on the cue ahead of us have also had to wait.  Rain, rain ⛈☔🌧 go away ...

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: 

marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Bath Renovation: Before & After, Bathroom #2

I just love how our bathroom renovation turned-out after 25+ years of doing nothing!  Being blessed with six kids to raise and support kinda changes your financial priorities. Not regretting that decision, but now I  no longer cringe when guests choose to use this CR.  No more dingy wall tiles, nor broken floor tiles, nor messed-up plumbing. It's almost-all new! Thank You, Lord.

Bathroom Renovation: Our Clawfoot Tub Reveal

The day of delivery arrived

There's our tub in the corner--
sharing space with a strangely-wrapped item.
 (I am intrigued. Wonder what the item is ...)

Well-covered and protected.  Kudos to Baths of Distinction.

Just the right size for us ... AND the bathroom space available

Relaxing after a hard day

Only 57-inches of available space for our clawfoot tub

Trying it out in the bathroom.
