Assignment #2.3 Free Write

I love the summer because we are able to spend so much time out in the summer and the sunshine, but in Alaska it seems just too short to get everything done. I have so many plans to remodel my condo and just upgrade it, but with working two jobs and going to school full time, finding the time is difficult. I would like to paint the walls and the ceiling, tear down walls, install a breakfeast bar, redo the windows and redo the carpet.

My goal this summer was to begin with the painting, so far I was able to paint the spare bedroom (only two of the walls out of four) and then I have also been able to paint the whole living room and dining room, but the dining room needs a second coat, and just have not had the time to get to it. I still wanted to paint my bedroom, and finish the spare bedroom, as well as paint the kitchen and the bathroom. I also want to paint the ceiling, but since it spans the whole house it is not an easy project.

Per condominium association rules I have to get all the windows in the place replaced by the end of next year. But finding the money for it, is difficult. I am hoping that each month until Feb or March of next year I will save enough to be able to pay for them in cash when they are on sale that time of the year. I am expecting that the windows will cost approximatly $3000-$4000 to replace. And, it only makes sense to get the nice ones and get them installed right the first time.

So, I have my work cut out for me, when it comes to my house. The only problem is finding the time to get it all done before summer is over in Alaska, and it just seems that most of it is going to have to wait until next summer.
