Our refrigerator door serves as the Scripter Remodel Command Center. Right now it includes sketches we have made of our upstairs bathroom design (yea - we finally have one!), an insulation upgrade diagram, and an upstairs floor plan showing what walls will be removed to add wiring and insulation. There is a detailed step-by-step to-do list for the bathroom, and a more general to-do list for the entire upstairs. These help us to not forget some vital step in the remodel process, and they help us remember decisions made. There is a floor plan of the main floor remodel, to help us remember our ultimate goal, and a table Don made about the window installation, to help him keep track of all of the steps he goes through to permanently install each window. Many hours and a lot of thinking has gone into creating those little lists and diagrams.
About once a week we get out a yellow marker and mark off things that have been accomplished. It is easy to think about the huge list of things left to be done and ignore what we have accomplished. Seeing all the little yellow marks makes us realize that progress is being made.
