momentum
12 JULY 2010
In a coincidental piece of teamwork, we managed to rally the *new* 340-pound bathtub up the stairs this Friday. No small feat, considering it's a narrow and delicate old stairway, and most people have better / more fun things to do on a Friday afternoon. Many thanks to David, Chris, and the old man.
I'm pretty sure it took longer to choose the tub, than it did to move it up the stairs. And momentum is funny like that- we are now officially into our sixth week of the renovation, and starting to see some effects of all the effort. Roughly five tons of debris has left the second floor, we've debated tiling and paint colors to the brink of insanity, claimed about $124 in salvaged metal, and eaten eleven hannaford's frozen pizzas to date. I am grateful for the tangible shift from demolition to renovation, and for mom and dad's trips up to make an occasion for a real dinner. Scallops in a mustard sauce Marta reconnoitered from the front room and grilled portabellos, mmm!

Renovation project + food = progress! Can we assume that lots of food (strategically placed at the end of the day) = lots of progress. And also, high quality food = high quality progress? Or is that just going too far?
