Wednesday Vignette: Stuck

My Yucca 'Bright Star' signifying how I feel these days:

The largest of my 3 plants once again has its leaves stuck overhead, covering its core

Our home remodel continues.  Progress often seems very slow, partly because much of what's been done doesn't have significant visual impact, like the installation of a new electrical panel and the rewiring that involved.  Or the installation of the new HVAC system, now 80% done.  But yesterday we finally got drywall installed in the new kitchen.

This is what the kitchen looked like back in early July during demolition

This is yesterday's view after the drywall finally went up

The new windows were installed in early August

The indoor BBQ to the right of the chimney was removed in July but fixing the holes in the roof created as a result of downsizing the chimney took time.  The interior wood roof got sandblasted last week.  We still have to work out the details for recladding the fireplace.

This is the outside view.  There's a whole new (and shockingly expensive) roof, as well as siding for the kitchen, still in the offing.

The cabinets could be here next week, which will mark a major turning point.  I'm still not betting on being done until late December but at least I can relax a bit.

The Yucca required some help to loosen up.  Loosening myself up requires drilling a little deeper into my own psyche seeking patience.
